Gizmodo got their hands on an internal memo gone viral at Google that criticizes extreme biases and blind promotion of diversity. The memo's author confronts the practice of silencing such minority opinions through shame:
"Despite what the public response seems to have been, I've gotten many personal messages from fellow Googlers expressing their gratitude for bringing up these very important issues which they agree with but would never have the courage to say or defend because of our shaming culture and the possibility of being fired. This needs to change."
Are these hints of the writing on the proverbial wall? One fears the diversity pendulum will break rather than be allowed to swing back.
[Update: Google has written a memo to its employees about the document. - ed]

The first time someone asked me who is more driven due to fear between conservatives and liberals, I said conservative. The reason? Because they are trying to "conserve" something that is under attack by liberals. There was no real need to bring "science" into it but still apparently it helps liberals avoid any discussion and just promote hatred of an outgroup. Hey hey! Liberals are just as politically devoid of any moral standing as they accuse others of! Who knew?
