A comment on Google cancelled a talk on caste bias. Parent comment

As the parent, just wanted to give a quick reply with thanks.

My reply here is meta given the topic, but I almost didn't submit my original comment because I've seen how these threads go. Any additional information in my comment would lead to even more complexity/areas to pick apart. Less information becomes easy targets for flame. I can understand why the talk was pulled, because they often seem to result in negative PR, more than any potential positive influence. I felt the same with submitting my comment.

Thank you for offering positive suggestions and discussion to the topic.

Yes, and I hope it was taken as discussion. I am not even making suggestions to you, not knowing anything about you, your employee, or the situation. I do not for a moment think that I do know based on a couple paragraphs on the Internet.

Thanks for submitting your comment. It's so valuable to have someone openly discuss these things.
