>AFAIK, he wasn't “global head of diversity” for any organization when he wrote it, but only many years later. He was literally a founding senior director for "equity in computing" at Georgia Tech and was a national strategy advisor to the Obama administration for bringing "equity and justice" to STEM (when he wrote this blog post). Please update your post as you're spreading FUD. >AFAIK, he wasn't “global head of diversity” for any organization when he wrote it, but only many years later. He's been a DEI grifter for over a decade, including when he originally wrote his anti-semitic post.

Neither of those is “global head of diversity”. > Please update your post as you're spreading FUD. No, I’m not and I see no need to update my post. If the upthread post were updated to refer to his actual position at the time of the post, I might be bothered to simply empty out my response as it would be moot, but given that it seems (like your post defending it) to be from a single-use throwaway account, I don't expect that to happen.

  >Neither of those is “global head of diversity”. Exactly, they're much higher positions with more scope and reach than "head of diversity" at a software company. Thanks for agreeing with me. >I might be bothered to simply empty out my response as it would be moot Except the premise of your post was proven categorically false. He absolutely should have known the difference between "Jews" and "Zionists" if he was a diversity advisor to the Obama administration. QED.

    > Exactly, they're much higher positions with more scope and reach than "head of diversity" at a software company. I don't agree that that’s necessarily evident from the titles alone, and reviewing the actual positions themselves is difficult, e.g., the one he was described upthread as being in at the time of the memo could not have even existed at that time, since it was in 2007 and the position was described as being in an Administration that didn't take office until 2009. The flow of time seems problematic for the throwaway accounts in this subthread. > Except the premise of your post was proven categorically false. The premise of my post was that the post it responded to described an expectation of knowledge based on a specific position he held only much after the time of writing the piece. Which has not been proven false since it was and remains true. (That the author of that post might have been able to refer to a different position that did not have that problem is a side issue.)

      >I don't agree that that’s necessarily evident from the titles alone, and reviewing the actual positions themselves is difficult The impact of an advisor to the President is orders of magnitude higher than a random diversity head at a software company. >the one he was described upthread as being in at the time of the memo could not have even existed at that time, since it was in 2007 and the position was described as being in an Administration that didn't take office until 2009. Stop backtracking and shifting goal posts. Your original claim was "AFAIK, he wasn't global head of diversity for any organization when he wrote it, but only many years later." He got a Ph.D in science and technology policy in 2005, was Director, University System of Georgia STEM Initiative in 2007, and headed the "equity for STEM" at Georgia Tech in 2011. This wasn't "many years" later, it was all within 4 years plus or minus. He literally earned a doctorate degree in science policy, has been a DEI grifter his entire career, but magically didn't know the difference between Jews and Zionists LOL? >The flow of time seems problematic for the throwaway accounts in this subthread. Uncomfortable facts that go against the narrative. >The premise of my post was that the post it responded to described an expectation of knowledge based on a specific position he held only much after the time of writing the piece. Which I just disproved. He absolutely should have been expected to know these differences considering his education and work. QED.

  Whoops, I copied and pasted a few edits and didn't move that. He was working on the STEM initiatives for Georgia Tech at the time of his writing.

  I loved that version of office.
