Whether it was my privileged position and perspective that caused me to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times or whether it was just my immaturity and me just being unnecessarily difficult, I apologize for my behavior and for any pain which I have caused.
We all can grow and change and I have definitely used these past several months to reflect my own shortcomings.
While I don’t remember ever making this specific statement and I have never judged others by their background or color of their skin, that’s not really the point.
What matters is that I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people.
