>At least eight Google employees tweeted Friday about a document that was circulated within the company calling for replacing Google's diversity initiatives with policies that encourage "ideological diversity" instead.
>The document's author also wrote that employees with conservative political beliefs are discriminated against at Google and lamented about how "leftist" ideology is harmful. They argue that the company should have a more "open" culture where their viewpoint would be welcomed. The document said that improving racial and gender diversity is less important than making sure conservatives feel comfortable expressing themselves at work.
So while Firefox insists on shoving their left-wing ideologies in your face every time you open a new tab, Google is moving away from forced liberalism. An interesting development in the technological sector, wouldn't you agree, Sup Forums?

it's not even an "anti-diversity manifesto". maybe people should actually read it before forming an opinion.
Ryan Taylor
How google is going to survive with people like this?
Carter Barnes
How does Facebook survive with people like this?
Carter Cook
>stop hiring blacks and women >dude, why is your statement so racist and misogynistic? >what? it's not anti-diversity, I'm just saying you should only hire whites
Jayden Watson
Oh look is the same derailer again, here take a (You) and read his document dipshit
Aaron Gray
>stop discriminating based on race and gender and other factors >WTF HE SAID STOP HIRING NIGGERS AND CUNTS, PUNCH THIS NAZI
Leo Bailey
But it isn't saying to stop hiring blacks and women. It's saying to only hire those blacks and women and whites who are qualified to perform their roles, regardless of whether they're train-gender or an apache helicopter.
Samuel Richardson
in fact he didn't even say "stop doing this or that", he said "i believe a policy of racial and gender discrimination is harming the company"
Samuel Ramirez
Why does google think it isn't racist or sexist to have gender and race segregated classes?

That's what cryptocurrencies are for. To cut off the jewish money printers once and for all.

Do not fall for the derailer again
Nathan Watson
Guess we shouldn't bother listening to the author then.
Kayden Moore
Stop. Do not derail this thread by responding to shitposters. Thank you.
Isaiah Murphy
No, they're going to get ruined. For some reason they felt like martyring themselves.

Do you think MLK Jr. would be viewed as a racist if he lived today?
Jonathan Davis
Yes. 100%.
Jaxon Campbell
He'd be an evil white male right wing neo-nazi by today's standards.
Nicholas Phillips
No, because that fat nigger would still be a preacher, except today he'd be following in the footsteps of Jesse Jackson.
Adam Brooks
anything that goes against to their agenda is "Racist" "Racist, soggy knees,etc" is just a political weapon to censor and get power, Americans are so brainwashed that cannot see something that obvious
Lincoln Kelly
Meh, at one point it does the usual "let people be different because people are different" biopsych thing which isn't needed in arguments like these. It's a tired claim which accomplishes little with or without evidence backing it.
What I'd love to see in its place is a concrete preliminary proposal for making good on ideological diversity without drawing from the identity politics toolbox. Because ironically that's the one thing I do want to take from said toolbox: the idea that if you want something you should just start doing it. Show me how it's done without being like the same thing you're trying to replace. Then we can get started on the business of undoing damage.
John Lopez
This is the same path that Yahoo took and while it didn't out right kill them, it has them pretty crippled compared to what they were before. Yahoo at its height was even bigger than Google is now monetarily speaking. Now? When was the last time you heard anything about Yahoo that didn't involve something to do with them losing money?
Yahoo started hiring based on diversity and not on merit like Yahoo originally did. Once they started doing that, everything began to collapse because the diversity hires were woefully under qualified for the position. The same thing is happening right now at Google.
Benjamin Kelly
this is why we had a gold standard
Jason Smith
>americans >brainwashed Excuse me what the fuck, we have actual freedom of speech unlike whatever germanistan/britbong country you come from where you get sent to prison for saying anything racist.
Samuel Thompson
Worse than that: Yahoo's CEO actively worked towards replacing all men in her company with women.
Liam Gomez
>prison for saying anything.... they consider ((((racist))))) fixed it for you
Dylan Nelson
Women should be enslaved as breeding machines and bought and sold like cattle. Like it has always been.
Oliver Lopez
>Google is moving away from forced liberalism
Basically all of the Google employees tweeting about it have been calling the author a dumb racist misogynist though and Google execs are now shoving diversity harder than ever.
James is completely fucked and shouldn't have put his name on that.
Connor Roberts
Here are some of the internal comments made by Google employees on the topic of the essay.
Alexander Roberts
I am entirely not surprised to see this.
Henry James
Diversity seems more like a pretense for H-1B and outsourcing
Grayson Phillips
Google's HQ is in California. In California you can sue companies for discrimination of political views. Hes fucked, but Google knows that if they fire him, they'll be even more triple fucked. Makes me wonder if this this guy wasn't going to quit anyway but just did this as some elaborate way to set up a lawsuit on the way out.
Grayson Foster
There is something wrong on human evolution to end being like this
Hunter Moore
>no-platform Interesting he mentions this, because a lot of right leaning videos are being pulled or shadowbanned from view ATM on Youtube.
Nathaniel Evans
I made a collage of responses.
Alexander Brooks
>all the heads of the medusa what a retard
Dominic Ramirez
A lot of testing, cloud and "social" employees there. Those are pretty well known as shit departments for diversity hires. The Go bitch is especially incompetent.
James Thompson
this crap makes me feel like committing suicide. all he did was criticize google's policy of race and gender discrimination, saying that he thinks it harms the company and its employees. he also criticized the tendency to witch-hunt people for having opinions or lifestyles that are not 100% in alignment with the hegemon; and these people, without any sense of self-reflection, proved him right in spades through their deranged reaction to this very inoffensive and respectful little document.
can't we all just get along?
Jeremiah Rivera
How do these people function? I just don't get it. How do they not break down at the mere presence of someone with a different opinion than they do?
Andrew Wilson
Do you think the writer of the manifesto is a "dudebro", Sup Forums?
Hudson Morales
wait a minute, that nose...
James Lee
He looks like a pretty typical lanklet beta male with no chin. Doesn't really look like a dudebro.
James Jones
What about it, user?
Mason Cooper
if a man didn't get a job because of tokenism, couldn't he sue the company with a decent case?
isn't it fucking illegal for companies to discriminate by gender during the hiring process?
Josiah Ross
So even when heckling a white man, the left still gets to play the victim card?
Connor Watson
>isn't it fucking illegal for companies to discriminate by gender during the hiring process?
Unless the people doing the interview say something incredibly stupid it's basically impossible to prove
Tyler Sanders
brb, rationing
Caleb Fisher
is there no objectivity in qualifications?
Wyatt Hernandez
>Tell judge they hired a black transgendered gay paraplegic instead of you >Judge calls you a racist transphobic bigot white male nazi alt right white supremacist >Company gets free PR >You get fined ten million dollars for daring to speak up against diversity hires >No other company will ever hire you because you're a nazi now
There is no winning here.
Kevin White
There are tons of subjective metrics that they use and this is especially the case for the Google interview process which consists of multiple interviews with multiple teams etc. Software development at a places like Google also requires a lot of social skills.
It's incredibly simple for interviewers to make up reasons why they didn't like a particular person because there are so many factors involved beyond just education and experience.
Xavier Morris
he's not even white, he looks mixed race of some sort
>if you're one of the good ones (sic), leave good idea, get rid of them
Luis Thompson
what if google was run by nazi furries
Aiden Edwards
LITERALLY SHAKING
Juan Hernandez
By clutching their pearls and screaming the loudest they want to prove the world that they're further away from this position than anybody else. And since their moral compass is obviously far superior, so is their opinion on the topic itself.
Carter Myers
Because they probably never encounter one. These people never leave their echo chamber and are shocked that such opinions even exist outside of the straw men they create when circle-jerking with other people who think like them. The few people with differing opinions probably have the professionalism to not openly discuss their politics at work so they never know.
Jonathan Powell
It's actually hilarious knowing how this dude is going to get away scot-free. This is lamdaconf all over again, where the moral busybodies get blown the fuck out and have to take it on the chin and act as if nothing happened.
Chase Diaz
>It's actually hilarious knowing how this dude is going to get away scot-free Nope sorry, he's out. Big Sister doesn't approve of him.
Tyler Rodriguez
If he was out, he'd be out by now. Plus, consider the statement from the new Diversity VP, where she basically says stealthily that she has no intent to have the guy punished.
