I strongly disagree with what the guy said. But I also find it problematic that he was fired for saying it. That's crossing a line I'm not comfortable with. There were other legitimate points in his claim that should be addressed too. You simply can't discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity. And if people are outright saying that, that's a problem. Is he a jackass? Yes. Did he do something obnoxious with that memo? Yes. Fire him for that. Which they did. Totally fine with that. But if the real culture at google is as described, that's something that needs to come to light in discovery. I would have preferred for this to move forward so we can see some light on things. The problem here isn't with Damore's "theory." It's whether or not there is a pervasive, race-based bias. My suspicion is that there isn't really anything in practice. Yeah, maybe some dude does some virtue signalling every once in a while. But in reality, I can't actually believe a competent HR team would let that happen on a systematic level. The chances are he would've been shown to be wrong. So it's too bad this didn't go past this stage.
