But at the same time, aren't you therefore implying that such diversity programs are inherently above reproach?
To be fair to you, I don't think you actually think that. But it's almost like the author of the diversity memo touched a third rail by suggesting that perhaps "lowered standards" could be an outcome from such diversity efforts. Is that a fair consideration to raise or is that beyond the pale now?
- danso 9y agoI don't think it has to be an either-or. In fact, because of this imperfect world, these programs are likely to be imperfect. But if I wanted to discuss that, I wouldn't do so using the argument that women/minorities are biologically-less suited for Google's leadership/engineering roles.
- eej71 9y agoI don't think he made that argument either.
- qu4z-2 9y agoDo you believe you would get the privilege of choosing what the media reports your argument as?
- danso 9y agoYou don't think there's another way for the memo author to criticize diversity programs other than a 10-page memo of broad, sprawling arguments? Why should the author get to privilege of asserting his worldview on top of his critique of diversity programs without his worldview getting challenged?
