| Below is the relevant section (although I don't see how anyone's saying they aren't good enough to work with): I strongly believe in gender and racial diversity, and I think we should strive for more. However, to achieve a more equal gender and race representation, Google has created several discriminatory practices: - Programs, mentoring, and classes only for people with a certain gender or race [5] - A high priority queue and special treatment for “diversity” candidates - Hiring practices which can effectively lower the bar for “diversity” candidates by decreasing the false negative rate - Reconsidering any set of people if it’s not “diverse” enough, but not showing that same scrutiny in the reverse direction (clear confirmation bias) - Setting org level OKRs for increased representation which can incentivize illegal discrimination [6] These practices are based on false assumptions generated by our biases and can actually increase race and gender tensions. We’re told by senior leadership that what we’re doing is both the morally and economically correct thing to do, but without evidence this is just veiled left ideology[7] that can irreparably harm Google. |
I've seen smart people pointing at 'evidence' on both sides of the discussion. Your claim that can 'irreparably' harm google is equally baseless IMO.
