The solution is entrepreneurship, that's all. Be your own boss as soon as possible during your career so you can manage your business the way you see fit. If you want to hire more black people then hire more black people. If you want to hire more women then do so as well.
That's also true with the person that got fired. If he thinks Google's policies are detrimental to productivity, then he has to put his money where his mouth is and go start a business where he can implement his own hiring policies. The guy should have quit then publish his paper, because he can't expect some kind of political neutrality in a clearly progressive-leaning business.

That only works if you are good at entrepreneurship and management in general. Most developers aren't (me included), so I think changing jobs to a more compatible company is the better option. At least that's what I tell myself - punishing bad management decisions by quitting jobs/projects seems to be the most effective way of changing how software development is run. > The guy should have quit then publish his paper I think for those who agree with him, his getting fired only proved his point. If he did it the other way around, nobody would have even read the paper.
