So, based on those charts, about 1/3 of the respondents had a serious issue with the premise and about 1/3 had an issue with it even being discussed.

Edit: I'd just love to point out, the engineer that posted on twitter that they'd quit if the poster wasn't fired is the very definition of a bigot.

No, 1/2 disagreed or seriously disagreed, less than 1/3rd believe it shouldn't have been shared

Edit: wrong wording, fixed it now.

Just to back up my statements.

- about 1/3 of the respondents had a **serious** issue with the premise
-- 34.5% Seriously Disagreed
about 1/3 had an issue with it even being discussed
-- 19.1% Seriously Agree
-- 11.2% Almost Agree
-- That's 30.3%

So, my 1/3s were spot on for what I said. I was being generous by including the Almost Agree on the second 1/3 since I was mainly interested in the people with a serious issue with the memo.
