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.

    Love to import because you love to take their . . . Oh crap, AC, everyone knows you are an Islamic refugee, filled with self-hatred and desire for forbbiden sex. Yes, in your country the used to say, "For children, a woman; for pleasure, a young boy; but for sheer ecstacy, a Melon!" But now, melons are in short supply. It is the closeted gays in the Republican party who are importing the poftas from the areas of combat. All those soldiers, stationed in areas where the "Peshawar School of Thought" prevails, and you do not think they would not want to bring their "translator" back with them? Oh American, the home of the Free and the Gay!
