Ironic, coming at the heels of Google firing someone for being "anti-diversity".

That's because diversity doesn't actually mean diversity. It's mostly newspeak, but it amounts to a dynamic set whose members are defined by the fashionable morality of PC culture.

  what now we're claiming google is some champion for PC culture? they're in the middle of a massive investigation by the department of labor for systemic wage discrimination against their female employees, I don't see how that's exactly championing the kind of PC culture you're talking about.

    No, Google is not championing PC culture, Google is championing "diversity" which is then defined by PC culture. Also, the wage gap argument is a different argument from the diversity argument. I'm happy to discuss either, but would you mind stating your point more clearly? Lastly, please use your real account when discussing hot button issues because it's hard to differentiate trolls from new accounts. Edit: For those who disagree then ask yourself this, are all religions equally represented at Google? Are all age groups? All political affiliations? All body types? Are all ability types equally represented at Google? Etc, etc. If not, then why not? And more importantly, why is there no industry-wide effort to correct the injustice that stems from these differences?

yeah, so's the fact that they're under investigation by the DoL for wage discrimination against their female employees but I'm pretty sure everyone who agrees with that rant probably thinks it's just because of some supposed biological reason.
