Actually, the number of whites at Google is about proportional to the general population. Asians are *gasp* overrepresented while other minorities are underrepresented. This is entirely explicable by culture. No racial discrimination there.
Women are arguably overrepresented too, given that few women find tech to be particularly interesting which was the whole point of his memo, which was backed up by the bulk of science (evolutionary psychology) on the subject.
Er, no.
This appears to agree with the first articles claim 80% male engineers, but that's also an accurate reflection of the hiring pool. Females represent 20% of engineers, and 20% people who even seek out engineering degrees. If females are or aren't innately inferior as engineers, and the reasons why they do or don't seek engineering degrees, is irrelevant. Promoting gender equality in a specialized field gets tricky when the qualified applicant base isn't equal, regardless the reason. It doesn't seem promote equality to expect 80% of engineers to compete for only half the jobs.
Absolutely. Have a virtual plus
Scap made a good point essentially, but then he went and spoiled it by seizing the opprtunity to bang on his Evolutionary drum. .
It bugs me that statistics are repeatedly misinterpeted and misappropriated to support some simplistic social narrative. Prejudice does exist, but if you're gonna find it in all the wrong places and throw out wild accusations, that's only gonna increase peoples' prejudice against SJWs and every "minority"group they get behind. Oh! and enhance grudges, left , right and centre.
I was recently told by two different women, both of asian extraction that they thought the Benefits system was discriminating against them. I asked for details , and in bioth cases it transpired that the sysrem was treating them in the exact same way that it treated everyody else. That is appallingly, inhumanly and unreasonably. But without a shred of racial discrimination.
They remained dubious, in spite of my assurances. ( i was tempted to tell them
my experiences, which easily capped theirs. But that would have been too much like playing trumps with misery) Fact is, it's just a very hunman thing for people to think that they are more hard-done-by than the next man. And it's fucking irresponsible to enccourage that belief, which is what these SJW's unthinkingly do, all the time. Meantime, you also have underprivileged white Brits who feel that
they are more hard-done-by, of course. And they (convincingly) cite so-called positive discrimination as evidence.
Simplistic analysis and positive discrimination are both wonderful tools for turrning up the screws on racial tension (as well as gender relations etc, ofc ) if that's what you want. And these SJW jerks intend to have the oppsite effect, do they? I very much question that assertion. Either they are dumb as fuck, or else their
unconscious motivations are diametically opposite to their stated intent. My money would be on the latter, though that doesn't exclude the former of course.
Discrimination surely exists, but there's
got to be a better way of dealing with it.
