Google is struggling to discuss the recent diversity memo controversy internally:

Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, canceled a scheduled all-hands staff meeting—moments before it was scheduled to begin—meant to address concerns over a controversial essay published by former employee James Damore.

In an email to staff, Pichai explained that questions from employees had been leaked and that, in some cases, specific employees' identities were revealed, exposing them to harassment and threats. Instead of today's large-scale meeting, which was to be livestreamed to Google's 60,000 employees worldwide, smaller groups will meet sometime in the future.

"We had hoped to have a frank open discussion today as we always do to bring us together and move forward. But our Dory questions appeared externally this afternoon, and on some websites Googlers are now being named personally," Pichai said in the email.

    Parent is so right.
    The racist non-white supremacists HATE race mixing because the sole source of their identity, their race, is diluted and becomes one with the hated "other."
    Segregation provides their lives with meaning. They are the other side of the coin opposite the white supremacists.

    Of course, if they give in to the forbidden temptation and mix with white people, they cannot bear to admit their kids are part white. They will call their kids "black", "of color", or what have you.
