Is this the manager seen on the video[3] who was accused of racist behavior? I wonder if they still work at Microsoft, I also wonder who put these people in charge.

I don't believe Mixer was shut down because of bad management though, if the people in charge weren't getting results, then Microsoft would have just replace them.

It was not the same person. The person in the video was Shilpa Yadla according to ArsTechnica[1].

I would tend to agree that management not getting results could be replaced. It could be that bad management was a symptom and not the cause.
