Google Fires Employee Behind Controversial Diversity Memo
People can&#x27;t seem to summarize his argument without getting much of it grossly wrong, because his manifesto was a haphazard collection of good points, bad points, good arguments, lousy arguments, misrepresentations of others&#x27; views, and unstated implications. A perfect recipe for people to argue past each other about it.<p>It&#x27;s worth remembering that one of his conclusions was to end or replace gender-based diversity programs at Google. Given that, it&#x27;s easy to understand why people would be upset. If gender-based diversity programs are responsible for qualified women getting jobs that they otherwise wouldn&#x27;t have gotten due to bias, then the lack of that program means those women wouldn&#x27;t have gotten those jobs.
