This is what Googlers refer to as "my pony is overcooked" syndrome. It's when the person detaches from outside reality so completely, they think Google is somehow "bad" on any of these hot button issues. It's not. I worked there for almost a decade, and I have not seen _any_ real racism, misogyny or discrimination. You will retort that it's sample size of 1, to which I will say that if the issues the authors of these memos describe were as pervasive as they claim, I'd notice _something_ at least. That having been said, I'm not black myself, and during my time at Google only very few people around me happened to be black. I _could_ be they're experiencing issues that are so unique to them I can't even grasp the extent of their "burden". But knowing Google, I find it really, really hard to believe. I'd even go as far to say that if you're looking for a company that takes gender/race discrimination seriously, for real, you'd have a hard time finding a better company to join.
