Note to Google Employees from CEO Sundar Pichai
I am a black dude from an upper middle class family that went to private school his whole life and I am very, very familiar with how it&#x27;s possible to have great ethnic diversity but a severe lack of diversity in other areas (and how negatively that can affect things). Because of this I&#x27;ve often wondered how a company or any group of people can include perspectives that many other people find to be morally reprehensible.<p>Let&#x27;s say someone at my company holds the opinion that black people are generally too stupid to do tech jobs and they write a memo to the company explaining that opinion. They cite sources that show how blacks underperform academically compared to other ethnic groups and go about it in a really professional way. Should the company just say &quot;well this guy made some good points maybe we should reconsider our diversity programs.&quot; Should they tell all the black employees at the company that they should be more open minded to that opinion? As a black guy at that company I would be really unhappy about that and I&#x27;d probably quit. I genuinely don&#x27;t understand how that&#x27;s supposed to work and would love to hear some suggestions.
