Google Fires Employee Behind Controversial Diversity Memo
It&#x27;s incredibly ironic that a company that apparently cares about diversity enough to have a &quot;Vice President for Diversity&quot; fired an employee for presenting an opposing viewpoint - to their diversity policy of all things.<p>Further evidence that Google and the other large institutions don&#x27;t actually give a rat&#x27;s ass about &quot;diversity&quot;. Diversity has absolutely nothing to do with diversity of thought, and is only concerned with normalizing racial&#x2F;gender composition to present the illusion that discrimination and biological variation are non-existent (except for discrimination against males, whites, and Asians, because for some reason it&#x27;s not considered discrimination if it affects them). It&#x27;s not about doing the right thing, it&#x27;s about PR - hence the decision to cave in to whatever the pitchforks are demanding.<p>It&#x27;s a shame that honest criticism of diversity policies and gender issues is considered taboo enough to get someone fired. If we really cared about diversity, then we&#x27;d welcome opposing viewpoints and counter them with facts, not silencing. We have a culture of anti-intellectualism and dogmatism around certain topics that for whatever reason are considered sacred and not allowed to be challenged (ie. political correctness), and its disgraceful.<p>Relevant video: Peter Thiel: What is Multiculturalism Really About?
