- md_ 8y agoTucker Carlson is still shocked to learn that nonwhites are allowed to vote in the US. Things just haven’t been the same since Jim Crow retired.
- arebop 8y agoI gather the key point is that one of the employees expressed disappointment in the election outcome, and suggested that other employees might feel similarly.
- tropo 8y agoIt looks like Google had rules to officially be non-partisan, but many employees were making race-based assumptions in an attempt to be partisan while appearing to follow the rules. (they would assume Hispanic==Democrat, then promote accordingly) Afterward, race-based assumptions are made about the feelings of other Google employees. So we have partisan behavior using the might of Google, race-based assumptions about voters, and race-based assumptions about coworkers.
