> Over the last 5 years I’ve heard co-workers spew hateful words about immigrants, boast unabashedly about gentrifying neighborhoods, mockingly imitate people who speak different languages, reject candidates of color without evidence because of ‘fit’ and so much more This sounds more like a description of (the sad reality of) American society than it does an anomaly unique to one company. When a company reaches Google-size, I imagine the challenges of insulating the company culture from the negative parts of broader society would become quite difficult. That's not to say that Google bears no responsibility for this. And it definitely tarnishes the overwhelmingly positive hollywood / silicon valley stereotype of Life As A Googler.
