Guess he'll have to join the throngs of people fired for motivated reasoning to arrive at 'diversity is strength' and 'everyone is equal'.

I see you are interested in logical fallacies. You may also be interested in the one called "tu quoque."

By that logic, you are never allowed to notice the unbalanced application of a rule or principle.

Slightly off-topic, most "logical fallacies" actually have very important heuristic uses. Just to get the ball rolling, "ad hominem" becomes extremely useful in a world in which we have limited access to full information, and have to constantly evaluate the reliability of outside parties.

That only counts for logical arguments. There is an assumption that if a reason is given for firing someone, anyone should be fired under the same circumstances on basis of fair treatment.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Those two statements are not obviously true in any sense other than "they sound good and only BAD people dispute them."
