A comment on Google Fires Employee Behind Controversial Diversity Memo. Parent comment
I will strongly defend people's right to hold differing opinions, even extremely controversial ones.
But this guy did not take the right approach. He wrote a freaking 'manifesto' and published it fairly publicly.
Diversity initiatives are a very touchy subject, and if you are going to approach them, you need to do it as carefully and tactfully as possible.
What he did was neither careful, nor tactful, and whether he is 'right' or not is completely besides the point.
