Wrath of right falls on Google

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The firing of a Google programmer who authored a controversial memo criticizing the company’s diversity initiatives has become a cause célèbre for many on the right.

They see the case of James Damore confirming their suspicions that Silicon Valley suppresses conservative viewpoints and are turning their fire on his former employer.

Damore’s internal memo became public when published by Gizmodo last Saturday. Titled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber,” it argued that Google’s initiatives to close its workforce gender gap were misguided because the disparity was more a result of biological differences between men and women than biased hiring practices or sexism.

Women are underrepresented in professions like coding, Damore argued, in part because they are more susceptible to “neuroticism,” leading to higher levels of anxiety and a low tolerance for stress.

So the right wants less regulation of business except when they don't?

1. They want to keep their boys club and just aren't ready to grow up yet.

No business can be successful by excluding over half the population. No business can compete in a 21st century global community where multiculturalism, ethnic and gender diversity is a significant factor in all industrialized societies.

2. One of the most insidious parts was how he DIDN'T say directly

He pulled the old "I was just asking questions" method of saying bullshit. It's very similar to the "I don't mean to sound racist, but..." line of defense.

It's transparent bullshit and everyone knows it, but it's enough to deflect/distract from the actual discussion.
