truth on hold Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 SAN JOSE, Calif. — In a groundbreaking disclosure, Google revealed how very white and male its workforce is — just 2 percent of its Googlers are black, 3 percent are Hispanic and 30 percent are women. “Simply put, Google is not where we want to be when it comes to diversity,” Google Inc. senior vice president Laszlo Bock wrote in a blog. http://nypost.com/2014/05/29/googles-diversity-data-reveals-mostly-white-male-workforce/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Google just bought up a bunch of companies that were working on robots. Perhaps the robots they will be making can be very diverse? Maybe all these low intelligence right wing posters on here can get robots to post for them. It would be an improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an improvement one of the two primary functions of placing robotics into an industrial environment is for performing acts of thoughtless repitition, which would be exactly in line with your function here. you are obsolete.

Why does color or gender matter? Given how diverse our country is becoming shouldn't we be at a point where we move past race and gender metrics and look at qualifications only? Who and what is a minority at this point? Doesn't Google have other more important business challenges than worrying about the composition of their workforce?

Doesn't Google have other more important business challenges than worrying about the composition of their workforce? color and gender matter because modern civil rights activists are not concerned with the individual, only that they're minorities or females. they fail to see the irony in their preoccupation with other peoples' differences while completely ignoring the talents, or lack thereof, of the individual. in particular is skin color, which they focus on with the same intensity as did the klansmen of the early 20th century.

Actual merit has nothing to do with it now. You must be a southwest cattle rancher or worse yet a southern redneck. You don't happen to own a pro sports team do you? If so the mob says you must sell it now! Racist sob!!! Edited May 30, 2014 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
