Silicon Valley CEO Michael Lofthouse has stepped down after footage of him hurling abuse at an Asian family celebrating a birthday at a restaurant in California went viral. After his initial apology was criticised by some for not being genuine, the Solid8 boss quit and he says he’s since enrolled in an anti-racism program.
