We could look at the legal definition of affirmative action that German courts considered illegal:
Affirmative Action, or illegal discrimination, is given when a company bases its hiring decisions in any way on anything but the employees merit. If age/gender/race/political beliefs/religious beliefs/etc have any influence on the hiring decision, it is illegal discrimination.
And he argues similarly, that affirmative action in any way is bad, and Google shouldn't do it - then he argues again that Google should do it, but only for the benefit of conservatives.
- mpweiher 9y agoLet's compare what he writes to the German definition: "treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group" Check. "Stop restricting programs and classes to certain genders or races." Check. "[Our programs] can easily backfire since they incentivize illegal discrimination." Check. So he is 100% on-board with the German definition. Google's existing programs, OTOH, are not. They would be illegal in Germany if the definition you've given is correct. The only thing I can find in his "Suggestions" for the "benefit" of conservatives is the following: "Stop alienating conservatives" "We should empower those with different ideologies to be able to express themselves." Wow, stop alienating a group of people and allow them to speak. That's just horrific. Off with his head!
