But working with people who say you don't deserve to be there is not.
James explicitly complained about "hiring practices which can effectively lower the bar for 'diversity' candidates by decreasing the false negative rate". Decreasing the false negative rate categorically does not lower the bar, it just makes the bar more accurate.
In making that statement however, James told everyone hired through that program that he thinks they're not good enough to work at Google.

I quoted him directly. He said the program lowered the bar by decreasing false negatives. Having a hard time squaring that with what you're saying his intention was.
