Interesting read. I found it racist and sexist. Yet, it attacks racism and sexism.

How the author portrays the Timnit-Gebru drama is unjust. It was Gebru who withheld her paper for internal review, trying to throw a monkey-wrench in the process by submitting too late.

> Jeff Dean’s subsequent decision to terminate her rather than discuss the improvements she proposed.

She proposed/demanded that the internal reviewers were de-anonymized. She told her underlings that they should stop working towards KPI diversity & inclusion goals, because it did not work, and that Google was marginalizing Black women like her before she got too powerful.

Diversity & inclusion for a commercial business are decisions where profit matters. Data matters. D&I at Google was hijacked by a political movement. Activists got so much leeway, because the topic is taboo, it can be very damaging, and society seems still ok with bashing "exclusively cishet white guys" and accusing them of racism or privilege. D&I got abused. By elevating these (social-media) vocal marginals.
