Speaking of diversity, I wonder how many people from Mexico are working in management of Google? I mean cultural background, not ethnicity / DNA.

I would be surprised to find there’s at least one. I don’t think they would have named their new programming language “carbon”, too similar to “cabrón”.

It's even closer to the word "carbón" which means "carbon".

Ridiculous comment. As if Mexicans are the only ones who speak Spanish and As if Google doesn't have a huge office in mexico city and employees tons of amazing executives from Mexico around the world.

AFAIK in European Spanish the word is neutral, just an animal, nothing particularly wrong with the resemblance.

Google’s HQ is in California. The state has a land border with Mexico and almost 40% of Hispanic and Latin population, predominantly Mexicans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanics_and_Latinos_in_Calif...
