>if you tell your diversity class that women aren't cut out for work at Google, you're going to cause a fight When did he ever say that?

  It was the thesis of his viral letter[1]. I'm simply supposing that he tried out the same argument in an informal context first, and that's what he's complaining about here. [1] Yes, it was. Don't pretend that it wasn't. If he genuinely felt that women and minorities were just as valuable candidates why did he write 10 pages about why efforts to ensure their inclusion were hurting google? The fact that he framed the argument creatively doesn't change the fact that fundamentally he feels Google is hiring too many women, thus the diatribe.

    But he wasn't insinuating that diversity was hurting google.. he was suggesting reasons for why he thought there wasn't enough diversity and how it could be beneficial.

    > I'm simply supposing that he tried out the same argument in an informal context first, and that's what he's complaining about here. Right, so you made that up. You're objecting strongly to something you THINK he MAY have done. Maybe. > [1] Yes, it was. Don't pretend that it wasn't. His thesis speaks for itself. Your objection to it is really your objection to what you THINK he means, instead of what he said. I think you may have just proved a few of his points.
