Google has definitely jumped the shark with their political leanings. They have been sued for implementing hiring quotas and discriminating on race, sex, and age. You can read the complaint here https://www.scribd.com/embeds/372792998/content https://www.scribd.com/embeds/372792998/content While Sergey seems to care about immigrants like himself, lgbtq, and women, he does not give a flying fuck about age discrimination, which is a legally protected class in America. Ultimately nothing lasts forever, and unfortunately there is some truth in right wing characterizations of Google. People stuck in the middle of the political spectrum, everyday non-racist people who are not part of any particular "group", have no party or supporters on either side.
- jayd16 8y agoYour argument only makes sense if you think immigrants, lgbtq and women are not every day people.
- codeonfire 8y agoOnce you accept and identify as a label then you are no longer part of the middle. That is one of the main arguments against race quotas and affirmative action. It taints the whole idea of equality and neutrality.
- codeonfire 8y agoDownvote for truth if you want. Got Karma to burn. Execs that say they want "diversity" want H1B slots for visa slaves. It was brought up in the linked video. 52:40 what they are really worried about. They don't care about equality. People want to flee BRIC nations and google wants cheap labor that can't quit their jobs.
- jayd16 8y agoIdentifying as a woman means you are not in the middle?
- codeonfire 8y agoA woman that joins a company in mountain view that only hires women is the same as a man that joins a company in Manhattan that only hires men. Can't really say you are neutral after that.
