He's not saying that the diversity programs are alienating conservatives. He's saying that if Google really wants to care about diversity, they should be more open to political diversity.
- mikeash 9y agoHe literally says that Google's diversity programs alienate non-progressives.
- Aunche 9y agoNo he doesn't. His bullet point about not alienating conservatives is completely independent from discussion about diversity programs.
- mikeash 9y ago"These [diversity] programs are highly politicized which further alienates non-progressives."
- Aunche 9y agoThanks for finding the quote. Regardless, the author says that the politicization is alienating conservatives, not the program itself. If Google allowed for an open discussion about its diversity program, the author would not have this criticism.
- mikeash 9y agoHe's saying the program itself is, and this is the reason why. "Politicization" is quite vague and the author doesn't explain exactly how these programs are "politicized" or what that means. I suspect it comes down to their mere existence.
