Inside a Google Summit on Diversity and Inclusion
- ArtDev 8y agoI agree on some points here around "diversity of thought". I like the example of how a panel made up of all the same minority, is in fact, 100% NOT diverse. But let's not confuse that issue that being an obvious minority puts that person at a disadvantage in the hiring process. I don't know how to improve the process while still being fair to others who may not be an obvious minority.
- hkai 8y agoI think Google tried blind hiring and it turned out that blind hiring is racist because it doesn't give sufficient weight to diversity. So I personally also don't know how to improve this further.
- throwaway39005 8y agoOf course it has to come from Quillette. Can someone explain to me the point of a website whose entire purpose is to stir things up with "controversial" or "concerned" messages about gender and race issues? Like, do they publish anything else?
- hkai 8y agoI think the point of Quillette is to balance between radical left wing media and radical right wing media. It's a refreshing drop of libertarianism in the world of media that is extremely biased either to the left or to the right. Certainly for the people on the left it's not leftist enough and for people on the right it's Trump-hating traitors.
