Come Monday, technology company Google was still reeling after an internal and controversial memo circulated by an employee went viral. The 10-page memo, which questioned the company’s diversity efforts, was the work of one person, but for CBS it meant a setback for all. “Tech-giant Google’s efforts to improve its image as a company that promotes diversity have been dealt a major setback, in the form of a memo from a male employee,” announced Anchor Anthony Mason during CBS Evening News.

The irony of being disgusted by a diverse opinion, albeit a controversial one, was lost on the network as they played up the memo as a travesty.

“This isn't sort of an isolated or fringe perspective in Silicon Valley,” diversity attorney Joelle Emerson told CBS reporter John Blackstone. “Lots of people from the majority group, white men, in particular, might push back against organizations’ diversity and inclusion efforts.”

Blackstone complained that Google wasn’t diverse enough: “Google has made efforts to diversify, but progress has been limited. Its total workforce is 69 percent male, 36 percent white, 35 percent Asian, only 2 percent black.” His bemoaning the racial and gender breakdown of Google’s workforce ignored the fact that the Supreme Court had ruled that using quotas to hire people was unconstitutional.

The CBS reporter found one former Google employee who seemed to suggest the company was a bastion for racists. “Like, I had experienced some amount of microaggressions and some major-aggressions at Google. For a long time, I dealt with it and just kept them inside,” they said. “I can guess that they have seen previously people talk about that internally and nothing happened.”

“Google responded with a statement saying the document ‘advanced incorrect assumptions about gender. It's not a viewpoint this company endorse, promotes or encourages,’” Blackstone added.

Seeming eager to find out if the employee was fired for committing a thought crime, Blackstone begrudgingly mentioned that “the writer's identity is known inside Google, but the company did not respond to our request for more information about him or his status at Google.”

But according to Bloomberg, James Damore, the employee in question, confirmed that he was fired by the tech-giant. “James Damore, the Google engineer who wrote the note, confirmed his dismissal in an email, saying that he had been fired for ‘perpetuating gender stereotypes,’” Bloomberg wrote.

“Firing him could be seen as confirming some of the claims in the memo itself – that the company’s culture makes no room for dissenting political opinions,” Bloomberg whined, missing the point that it means just that.

It means that Google fired Damore for THINKING the wrong thing. Or as Google’s Vice President Danielle Brown put it, he held “difficult political views.” This action could possibly be illegal since the firing appeared to be based on differing political opinions.

Were Damore’s comments controversial and greatly unpopular with many people? Yes. But they were not some “major setback” to diversity as Anchor Anthony Mason described them. What liberals view as wrong-think is actual diversity. Google's firing of the employee did more to set back diversity than the original comments. Liberals only want the diversity they can see, and activity stamps out the diversity of the mind.
