Yeah, that was my reaction too. It makes zero sense. Suggesting that actual widespread, repeated 'racial segregation' is happening today in a high-profile, very large, publicly traded Silicon Valley company like Tesla is simply ludicrous. The atmosphere in the valley in recent years is pervasive hair-trigger vigilance from company boards, management, HR and employees against even the slightest appearance of any impropriety.
The current exponentially punitive environment and runaway social media amplification have made the downsides for a public company basically limitless. And what possible benefit could there be from permitting racial segregation? Tesla is nothing if not pragmatic. The "accused" is being pilloried for an alleged "crime" despite the absence of any evidence, motivation or opportunity. It's troubling how the "prosecution" of allegations can now be the punishment.

It must be nice living in a bubble, in a bubble that is Silicon Valley. There's A LOT of racism here once you leave the neat tech offices filled with highly educated people getting $200k out of college.
