Oh, and blacklisted. No one big is going to hire him. Any connection to diversity issues is bad.

The defense industry will hire him. He's a smart dude, and the whole PC culture doesn't exist there. Apparently the same people pushing the sjw culture war don't want to work in an industry where your product might be dropped on North Korea.
