[QUOTE="TooFineAPoint, post: 1121588, member: 8507"] While it's true from a macro level that he did a stupid thing assuming that he could have a good faith convo about this issue openly, imagine what it is like from his point of view. He's likely someone who any of us would consider borderline soy in manner and dispositions. He probably also happens to be really damn good at what he does, and to be a true believer in his company (and I don't blame him, Google is excellent in many respects, no matter what they do politically). And at the end of they day, he probably really gives a shit about pursuing an objective view of reality (given the nature of his job). What does he see around him? Diversity hires coming in and diluting his life's work. Diluting the work of his beloved company! He thinks "oh these people are nice and everything, I wish them the best. But they don't belong here. They will end up unhappy because they are not up to snuff, and we will be unhappy having to carry them on our backs. I'm back in highschool again, doing the entire group project because the dumb girl and the hot girl and the jock are too busy and/or uninterested and/or incapable of contributing.

And in nearly any normal position that might have been enough. A less tainted culture or company would have had a few alpha leaders present who could have backed his cause and made it more palatable to normies and fence sitters.
