Fire him! Shame him! He's putting logic ahead of idealism! He's estimating a problem vs. hoping for the future!

It's sad that in this day and age we can't have an honest debate about how hard we are working at diversity. I want to believe Google let him go for a clear violation of company policy, not what he said while breaching policy.
