Haugh, the president of Chicago Search Group and the intended recipient of the email, declined to answer questions about the company's hiring practices and defended McMahon's email last week.
"The quote is from a famous movie, google would have told you that," he wrote to Block Club.
"As a son of two attorneys (A little research can show they both worked at a large law firm in the Willis Tower), even I can recognize that an interpretation is an opinion, not fact," Haugh wrote.
Haugh went on to say the company has hired employees that "happen to be Asian, black, gay, Spanish decent, etc" [sic] and explained McMahon is married to a woman who is black and Colombian.
"Given those facts, a responsible reporter would ask, are these hires/relationships of a racist person/organization?" he wrote.
