As Damore explains at length in his memo, statistical disparities in representation don't prove discrimination.
For example, 74% of NBA players are black - compared to just 13% of the US population.
Is this disparity evidence that the NBA is discriminating against non-black players?
- tolbish 5y agoIf that is the line of thinking, that certain races are naturally predisposed to playing basketball, then I could see why Google took issue with insiuating that certain genders are naturally predisposed to be engineers.
