While the liberal media lost their minds over former Google engineer James Damore’s memo last year that criticized the search engine’s approach to diversity, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki perhaps unintentionally admitted he was correct for making those comments that got him fired.

During a Recode forum, MSNBC’s Ari Melber interviewed Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Wojcicki about a range of issues, but Wojcicki’s remarks about diversity at tech company’s gives Damore even more ammunition.

Last week, Damore, who was fired from Google after releasing a memo he wrote criticizing the company for pushing diversity over qualifications, filed a class action lawsuit against Google.

His lawsuit just picked up even more steam given Wojcicki criticized how these tech giants are causing self-harm and damaging their own brands when they prioritize diversity and gender over qualifications and talent.

Wojcicki said one reason so few women work in the tech industry is because the sector has a reputation for being a “very geeky male industry.” She also noted that several studies show many women simply aren’t interested in tech, but liberals want people to believe that white males are to blame for so few women in tech sectors.

Here’s Wojcicki response to a question about making diversity and gender the top priority in hiring processes:

“I think the problem is, is that computer science as a whole and tech as a whole has a reputation of being a very geeky male industry And so if you look, not within the industry, but just as an educational pipeline, you see that we only have 20 percent of women graduating with computer science degrees, and that’s a problem in and of itself, because that means we don’t have enough people graduating who have those degrees. And you say, well, why is that? I think it has to do with these perceptions that the computer industry is, a geeky, not very interesting, not social industries, and it just couldn’t be further from the truth.”

Wojcicki’s comments immediately caught the attention of Damore, who pointed out her comments accurately portray how the tech industry overplaying diversity has created a toxic culture that actively maligns qualified candidates like white males.

Did I read this right? Susan Wojicicki said that women find “geeky male industries” (as opposed to “social industries”) “not very interesting” and Sundar cites research on gender differences.https://t.co/VlD5YBhVoH — James Damore (@JamesADamore) January 30, 2018

In Damore’s lawsuit, he says Google engages in “harassment and career sabotage of anyone that expresses a conservative viewpoint, and there’s constant shaming and attacks against white men within Silicon Valley.”

“Google employees and managers strongly preferred to hear the same orthodox opinions regurgitated repeatedly, producing an ideological echo chamber, a protected, distorted bubble of groupthink,” the lawsuit states. “When Plaintiffs challenged Google’s illegal employment practices, they were openly threatened and subjected to harassment and retaliation from Google.”

So Damore was fired last summer for publishing an internal memo he wrote detailing the problems with the company’s diversity agenda. But now Wojcicki has confirmed that the toxic culture of essentially ostracizing and punishing those for their gender and race has created a bad working environment. Which in turn has resulted in “not enough” women working in the tech space.

Her comments undoubtedly bolster his already strong case exposing Google for promoting left-wing policies to denigrate those who don’t meet their diversity preferences.
