An employee not in a position of power at Google has an opinion that questions collective wisdom. Worse, some people agree with him. zOMG, break out the pitchforks! eyeroll

The people who claim to be pro-diversity are anything but when it comes to promoting a diversity of ideas. Which is ironic because diversifying race and gender naturally diversifies ideas.

The Google engineer is not questioning whether promoting diversity is a good thing or not, he's asking if they're going about promoting it the right way. The fact you can't even bring it up without getting excoriated, much less have an adult conversation about it, is what his piece is about.
