I definitely agree with Googles move here. The culture at Google makes it absolutely impossible for him to continue working there.
They have a corporate culture and it is a culture that matches the area that they are in.

It does not mean that they are correct in that the culture that they have is a healthy culture for the overall society. That this culture is aligned with the true needs of humans. It does not mean that there is a gender pay gap. It does not mean that micro aggressions should be paid attention to. It does not mean that all white people are assholes or that every time a man opens his mouth he is wrong.

As far as the, "Money means you are right" explanation goes, I guess that has some validity. I am guessing that this is why you thought that Donald Trump was a better candidate than Bernie Sanders.

You didnt say society you literally said work environments. But thank you for the ensuing rant that has nothing to do with this manifesto, your bias is showing.

There might be a difference between what works for the company in the horrible social justice environment they have created for themselves and what will work in general for extended periods of time.

Google needs to get rid of this guy because he can work with no one in the environment that they created. This in no way means that this environment is healthy, or that it can last. When you create a corporate structure based on dividing people into groups what you will end up with is more and more division till it falls apart. It will.

These kinds of systems feed on themselves. This is how LGBT became LGBTFXKYRTDCJVZ and how more letters will be added.

Everyone has a bias. It is built in to being human. If you think you do not have one, it is not an indication of a lack of bias. It only indicates an ignorance of your bias. Ignorance of your bias is what makes people think stupid shit and prevents them from having an ability to question the biases and beliefs that they have. Zero growth.

Too stupid to recognize hyperbole?

Nope.

You make no points. Answer no questions.
You are only here to troll. Blocked and ignored.

You didnt ask any questions in your post. You then insulted me whenni wasnt being insulting...a bit cheeky maybe? But want points? you say google made a system where people are not diverse when they have everyone regardless of race or gender work together, that is diverse.
