Re:Face It. Your Hiring Process Is Broken by paulddraper on Sunday September 10, 2017 @10:52PM (#15215560)
Okay, I picked up where you left off.

> It is complete and utter nonsense that people find it hard to garner female and minority applications through traditional channels...We aren’t getting hired, and aren’t being paid well, because of unconscious biases.

Support for this comes from a large number of (not listed) medium.com posts.

Then we launch into James Damore.

> Or, for shits and giggles, check out the Google Manifesto, and see that some milquetoast gish galloping member of /r/IAmVerySmart decided to ram his face into Google’s hiring practices and get himself fired over crying about diversity hurting hiring practices.

After complaining "tons of writers just here on medium.com...discredited with a hand-wave", the author in the next breath dismisses Damore and his citations of Wikipedia, research articles, Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, etc. [1] with a hand-wave.

> There is no biological basis to be found for any of this Google Manifesto garbage.

Tear that 10-page manifesto apart you want, but take more than one sentence. "This is BS because I say so."

And I stopped there.
