"your evidence being psuedo-scientific bullshit" *Citation needed.

• pimmen 9y ago
  The fact that these engineers passed the same hiring process, consisting of problem solving, that other employees also were subjected to, and that these workers deliver enough value to pass the fitness evaluations? If you're suggesting they were subjected to different practices, contrary to what HR at Google is stating, then you better cough up evidence. Do the women and minorities at Google perform worse than White males?

    I'm not saying that women or minorities are somewhat inferior (neither does the memo btw, if you've read it carefully), but there are fundamental differences among these groups, like it or not. Ignoring these differences only makes things worse, and no bar lowering, mandated positions of certain group etc. will help. Problems must be solved at the root causes, not fighting their consequences.

This part in particular is worth considering: "..if minds differ across sexes and races enough to justify diversity as an instrumental business goal, then they must differ enough in some specific skills, interests, and motivations that hiring and promotion will sometimes produce unequal outcomes in some company roles. In other words, if demographic diversity yields any competitive advantages due to psychological differences between groups, then demographic equality of outcome cannot be achieved in all jobs and all levels within a company."
