Parag Agrawal, the new CEO of Twitter who took over for Jack Dorsey Monday morning, is facing backlash after a tweet from 2010 resurfaced.

Within minutes of his promotion, Twitter users trawled through Agrawal’s old tweets, a familiar process that has spelled professional disaster for many before. Although most of the tweets were banal, some users seized on a tweet from Oct. 26, 2010, which said, “If they are not gonna make a distinction between muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists.”
