Imagine if somebody at AT&T or GE said "I'm not working with Obama Voters, they're Stalinists. I'm going to punch them in the face. You'll never work on MY Team, Fuck HR, and there should be a blacklist, not just here but Industry Wide - in fact there is an underground one here and I'll be adding names to it." with their Full Name on an Official Company Forum

How many hours do you think it would be before they were fired?

You did not read the lawsuit document, did you?
nope. I admit to not reading much at all about this case. So I'm not going to try to defend my position. It was just my initial reaction to what I have read.

This is relevant:

The Department of Justice is threatening to sue Harvard for discrimination against Asian-Americans in application for admission. Austin Jia, an Asian-American student, had a near-perfect GPA and an impressive leadership record, but he was rejected while his classmates with lower test scores and poorer extracurriculars were admitted. The case is likely to reach the Supreme Court, and represents a recognition of the decades of Asian-American complaints of discrimination in college admissions. It is merely another demonstration of the failure of affirmative action.

Whites and Asians have a common interest in ending discrimination based on skin color.

Obviously, Google isn’t actually going to stop hiring Asian and white male engineers and replace them with black and Hispanic women. Management has the world’s second highest market capitalization to protect.


Good summary of the situation.

It was a legal termination.

Fake news. Damore never suggested inferiority. Next.

He did say from the beginning that they would misrepresent his position, and they did indeed, and the news continues to do that.

Not fake news. He filed a complaint and dropped it.

"He dropped the NLRB complaint shortly after filing it to focus his attention on a class action lawsuit over the issue. The memo doesn't bode well for his chances, however. While it's not legally binding (it would have only held weight if Damore kept his NLRB complaint), it shows a court might rule against him."

What is the news getting wrong?
44   HeadSet   @   2018 Feb 18, 5:39pm  

the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes

At the level of a graduate engineer, no one will obtain the ability unless he/she has interest. That is, only an interested person would be motivated to put in the hours of study and practice needed to become an engineer. Far fewer women than men, even women of superior intellect, are attracted to STEM. Nothing to do with "inferiority."

White males are NOT a protected class.

Lets see what happens. I can tell you, that if he was mexican/gay/black/woman/anything_non_white .... left wing would be going nuts screaming that he is being discriminated against.
