I wouldn't be shocked if Google saw this drama, saw that she was offering to resign, and was like "that's a freebie."

  But that drama was some time ago. She should have been fired on the spot back then, but, at Google women are virtually unfireable, black women doubly so. Whatever she did to get canned like this must have been extreme. Either that or Google is learning how to hold these sorts of employees to the same standards as their less fashionable colleagues. Edit: incorrectly claimed the spat was before 2020, it wasn't. 2020 just feels like an incredibly long year.

      What do you expect me to cite to show that? I worked there and saw it for myself. That's the citation. But really, do you doubt it? It's a company that talks constantly about how hard it tries to boost the number of women and blacks working there. Firing them works against that goal.

        On a scale of 1 - 10, how angry do you get at the thought of a black person arguing with you? You can be honest. How hard does it get your forehead vein throbbing? What if she's also a woman? I'm betting the very thought makes you turn tomato red.

          Ah yes, the classic "if you're against affirmative action you're a racist" line. Knock it off. I'm the opposite of racist: the thought of arguing with a black woman doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'll happily argue with anyone. The racism here is in the behaviour of treating some people specially because they are of "wanted" races or genders. I'm criticising racism, not engaging in it. But clearly a lot of people especially in the US are so far gone they'll never recognise it.

            Don’t think for a second you fool anyone, buddy.
