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.

My god, you are stupid, too stupid to work in my organization, which hires hundreds each year. OK, we will go to the Law:
Mind you, if you read this, and you hold Federal Contracts, you may be liable irregardless (- did you see that? irregardless used properly?) for discriminatory employment practices, even if you or your family never owned slaves, you white privileged bastard:

See? Equal opportunity. If you lose under such circumstances, I can only surmise that you are a substandard employee candidate. You see, it is no longer the case that no one was ever fired for hiring white. We are coming for your incompetence, whitey. Be prepared to compete on a level field without your white privilege! Sucks to be you.
