He could have brought up his concerns to hiring authorities in the company, whose job it is to refute diversity myths. Not expect people who have had this burden placed on them for their entire adult life to do it yet again.
- lliamander 9y agoHe did, a month or more before the fiasco.
- Blackthorn 9y agoAnd that's exactly where he should have stopped. If he did not like the result, he should have resigned in a much less public manner.
- lliamander 9y agoThe result from HR was silence. He never intended for the memo to go public, but he did want feedback from his colleagues. If HR didn't want the issue going further, they should have actually responded to him.

- dang 9y agoPlease don't post snarky one-liners to HN, especially not in divisive discussions, where they make things significantly worse. Also, please don't use quotation marks to make it look like you're quoting someone when you're not.
- rakoo 9y agoBut he saw a problem and wanted to fix it. You're basically saying he should have left the problem where it is and pretend itsr not there, which is not what engineers typically do. Can you blame him for that?
- fma 9y agoNot just engineers...That kind of mentality does not advance society. Imagine..."She thought black people should not have to sit at the back of the bus. She told authorities who just remained silent. She should have sucked it up and moved to the north!"
