JUST THINKING OUT LOUD

James Damore and his ex-colleague filed a class-action lawsuit against Google on January 8, 2018 for unlawful termination due to bias against conservatives and caucasian (and asian) males in google’s corporate culture and/or hiring practices. I give my intellectual and emotional response and discuss why I think it’s an important event.

I was going to talk about hate crime statistics re Mr. Yankah’s fear in the video, but then I was like, it won’t make a difference. It’s the same issue with stats on police violence etc. Depending on your understanding of statistics, you leave with a different answer.
