He said that at this point if somebody posted a picture of the blue sky and referred to the sky’s color as blue, people will still criticize that, accusing the person of being insensitive to the sky’s own identification of its color.

However, he put forward a special condition for his future employer: it needs to be a team that allows him to be himself and doesn’t censor him.
