Google Values Diversity (Just Not of Thought)



On August 7, 2017, a Google employee wrote an internal memo titled Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber that quickly circulated throughout the company. Soon after, journalists got ahold of the contents of the document, and controversy broke out. (In the link above) is the original memo reproduced as verbatim as possible.

If segregation were the answer to diversity and inclusion, millions of Americans had it wrong during the Civil Rights movement.



You would think that not many would conclude that the best way to increase diversity and inclusion on college campuses would be to facilitate and promote segregation in student housing. Yet, that conclusion has been reached by university administrators and segregated campus housing already exists or is coming to a California university near you.

While emphasizing diversity and inclusion on campus, segregated housing is being facilitated and promoted throughout the University of California and California State University systems.

The game plan for creation of segregated housing on campus is follows: The Black Student Union demands alternative housing for black students because of racially insensitive remarks and micro-aggressions on campus; a university committee is formed and agrees to provide the requested segregated housing; the segregated housing is made available by the university in the following semester; the segregated housing unit is given a non-multi-cultural welcoming name such as the Black Scholars Hall at UCI, the Afro House at Berkeley or the Halisi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community at CSULA; a necessary pledge to live in this segregated housing requires each student to agree to participate in a multitude of cultural activities involving a single race and having nothing to do with their academic regimen; finding a university administrator to state “This community is open to all students. This living-learning community focuses on academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory”; and university administrators insuring that the university will refuse to collect and/or provide the racial makeup of any of the segregated housing units....

Segregation in campus housing is no more right today when demanded by minority groups than it was right in 1963 when demanded by a white majority. Shame on our universities....

Where Democrats can find the diversity they seek: The GOP



Today’s Democratic base is famed for prizing diversity; of sexual orientation, of ethnicity, and especially, of race. Yet those same self-professed liberals have grown increasingly hostile to intellectual and ideological diversity: Witness the resurgence of political correctness on places like college campuses, and the complementary increasing hostility to free speech. Yet the three Democratic candidates for presidents are all straight, old, and white: three epithets, in the mind of many bien pensant liberals. The Democrats may have diversity, just not the kind that the base cares about, or even wants. Horror of horrors, they have to look to the GOP for that.

University of Tennesse President DiPietro nixes gender-neutral pronoun recommendation. Takes it off UTK website



University of Tennessee President Joe DiPietro informed the UT Board of Trustees on Friday that a university newsletter article advocating the use of "gender neutral" pronouns such as "ze" for "he" and "she" for some students will be removed from UT-Knoxville's Office for Diversity and Inclusion's website.

Reuters: GOP Field Too Diverse for Ted Cruz to ‘Catch Fire’ with Latinos


...To Latinos, Cruz often feels more like an afterthought. And while that’s largely attributed to his hard-right stance on immigration reform, prominent Hispanic conservatives offered insight as to why his problems with Latinos run deeper. Rubio, they said, has embraced his ethnic identity in a way that Cruz, who speaks little Spanish, has not or will not.
What they’re essentially saying is that the field’s diversity makes it difficult for Cruz to be a token, which is the Democrats’ approach to such things.

All of that “blah, blah” about the embrace of his identity and Spanish speaking skills is only brought up because he is a Republican. The two Latino golden boys of the Democratic party at the moment are Julián and Joaquín Castro are still at the “¿Dónde está el baño por favor?” stage of their Spanish learning development. If that’s the litmus test, I’d be the ranking Latino if the three of us were hanging out. Also, if either Cruz or Rubio make it onto the GOP ticket, Joaquín Castro will almost certainly be given the Veep slot on the Democrat ticket because of the aforementioned leftist tokenism when it comes to race and ethnicity.

Cruz embraces being an American, and we all know how that irritates leftists.

GOP 2016 diversity on display in campaign rollouts



With Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina officially joining the GOP presidential race Monday, the Republican field includes two Latinos, an African-American and a woman. And depending on Bobby Jindal's next move, an Indian-American -- a term he's not fond of -- could also be in the mix.

2016 is shaping up to be a year of historic diversity for Republicans, setting the party apart from the all white line-up that's emerging on the Democratic side. That distinction is important for Republicans as some in the party try to make inroads with minorities. But the biggest question is whether a diverse slate of candidates will actually help the GOP overcome its demographic problem, which has contributed to losses at the presidential level in two successive elections.

"With more diversity, comes diverse attention and with diverse attention comes diverse voters," said Ron Bonjean, a GOP strategist. "It's not going to change the world, but it's helpful. It's a chip away strategy, every percentage counts. It's not a planned out strategy, but it's one that Republicans should take advantage of."





The RealClearPolitics average of poll measures 14 candidates in the Republican race. Fiorina is 14th, with 1.0 percent of the vote. Carson is eighth, with 4.8 percent. Neither seems set to scare the leaders anytime soon.

But both bring something to the race; if nothing else, the Carson and Fiorina rollouts Monday showed the sprawling range of the Republican campaign. And while each GOP candidate is different from each other, perhaps the greatest contrast of all is between Republican diversity and the virtually single-candidate race on the other side.

STANDING OVATION: RAND PAUL BLOWS AWAY LIBERAL BLACK AUDIENCE WITH CONSERVATIVE MESSAGE AT BOWIE STATE





◼ Paul wove individual examples of people throughout history and in modern times who have faced unfair consequences as a result of government’s heavy hand, making his case to the room on the basis of the need to defend the full Bill of Rights in the Constitution—a classic Tea Party style of speech—all while citing the Founding Fathers, and making economic and social limited government conservative pitch that seemed to resonate throughout the theater inside the student center. - Matthew Boyle/Breitbart

“How do we protect all of these things and how do we make it a better, more united America? I think we have to pay more attention to the Bill of Rights,” Paul said. “The Bill of Rights is there to protect all of us… It’s for the least popular among you. It’s for those who might have unorthodox ideas. It’s precisely for minorities. And you can be a minority because of the shade of your skin, or you can be a minority because of the shade of your ideology. You can be a minority because you’re African American or Hispanic, but you can also be a minority because you’re an evangelical Christian. There’s all kinds of instances where you can have minority opinions that need to be protected. The Bill of Rights should do this.” ...KEEP READING, IT'S A MUST READ

The shootings in Copenhagen targeting a free speech event and a synagogue are an unfortunate reminder that Muslim immigration doesn’t bring diversity. Islamic immigration leads only to Islamization. And Islamization is the end of diversity.

Van Jones suddenly worried about 'racist' GOP's diverse and exciting 2016 bench



◼ Hang on, I could have sworn that Van Jones thought Republicans were a bunch of racists. Now he's worried that our 2016 presidential field is so diverse that the Dems can't compete? - Robert Laurie /Herman Cain TV

...The Republicans' 2016 is young, deep, and diverse. According to Jones, it's "beginning to look like the rainbow coalition." Democrats should be "very worried" about that, probably because they seem to be pinning all their hopes on a field of elderly white people and a fake Cherokee...

Playing racial games

◼ (S)ix years after America elected the first black president. That history-making moment was supposed to usher in an era of peace in the melting pot. - Michael Goodwin/New York Post

After New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton chose a  black man to replace another  black man as his deputy, a re-  porter asked Mayor de Blasio if the replacement “had to be a person of color.”

“No,” the mayor claimed.

That’s not a little white lie. This is a case where whites need not apply.
Across the land, racially charged disputes are grabbing headlines. Broad swaths of life, including school admissions, crime statistics, income and poverty levels, hiring and firing, are seen increasingly through the prism of skin color and ethnicity.

Race riots, that urban staple of the ’60s and ’70s, are making a comeback. They rattled the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo., after a white police ­officer shot a black teenager. More ­violence is expected if, as seems likely, the officer is not indicted.

Desperate to hold onto power, some Democratic candidates spent election season trying to scare black voters to polls. They claimed shootings like the one in Ferguson and the 2012 Trayvon Martin case in Florida would become common if Republicans prevailed. At the bottom of the barrel was the scurrilous comment by Harlem’s Rep. Charlie Rangel that some in the GOP “believe that slavery isn’t over.”

So it goes six years after America elected the first black president. That history-making moment was supposed to usher in an era of peace in the melting pot.


... last week, another NBC exit poll captured the bad news. Only 20 percent said race relations had improved under Obama, while 38 percent say they are worse.

Blacks are especially disappointed. Nearly 60 percent had high hopes in 2008, while only 19 percent now say things are better. A whopping 43 percent say things are worse.

Other polls found an even more lopsided view. A survey for Investor’s Business Daily found that nearly half of all adults think race relations are worse under Obama and 1 in 4 believe they are “much worse.” Only 18 percent say they are better.

While the problems are too entrenched to pinpoint a single source of failure, the president cannot ­escape responsibility.

We Gambled with Ebola and Lost


◼ Let us finally end the crazy “diversity” visa lottery. - Michelle Malkin/National Review

Ebola has reached our shores from Africa. Dozens of children are reportedly suffering paralysis from a deadly virus with unknown origins. Medical providers across the country have warned of a looming public-health crisis as communicable diseases spread unmonitored and uncontrolled. Other countries are cracking down. But America is stuck on open-borders stupid.

The Diversity Visa (DV) program, to take just one glaring example of government insanity, is still going.

On October 1, the State Department opened the annual DV random lottery to applicants from around the world. Yes, it’s completely random, like a Powerball drawing. Up to 55,000 lucky winners will snag permanent residency visas (green cards), which put them on the path to American citizenship ahead of millions of other foreigners patiently waiting to come to this country.

The green-card-lotto winners’ spouses and unmarried children under 21 all get golden tickets into the country too, no matter where they were born....

The Diversity Visa lottery program is a public-health hazard and a national-security risk that leaves our safety to random chance. But pleas to curtail or end the program since the 9/11 attacks have fallen on deaf ears.

In the wake of the Ebola scare (not to mention renewed jihadi threats from abroad), worried Americans are heading to the drugstore to stock up on facemasks, hand sanitizer, and gloves. New vaccines are in the works for emerging global contagions.

Unfortunately, there is no antidote for our government’s blind and deadly diversity worship. Political correctness is a plague on us all.

In Speech to California Republicans, Rand Paul Comes Out Swinging at the Last People They Expected

◼ Speaking at the California Republican convention yesterday, Rand Paul did not play nice. Speaking at the LAX Marriott to 400 of the GOP faithful, he not only criticized President Obama and likely-Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, but also the Republican party itself. - IJReview

On Obama, Paul was very direct in identifying exactly where he disagrees with the President’s actions. Using the expansion of Obamacare, overseas military actions without Congressional approval, and immigration laws as examples, he said:
It is a terrible tragedy, it is a danger to us as a country, and we need to do everything we can to stop him from abusing our laws. We have a President basically has created a lawless atmosphere in Washington.
On Hillary Clinton, he linked the Benghazi attack with her potential Presidential run:
I think she had a 3 a.m. moment (referring to her 2008 primary ad, where she asserted she was more capable of resounding to a crisis than Obama). She didn’t answer the phone, and I think it absolutely should preclude her from being President. In the end, the thing is we are going to have to look at, for greater or worse, whether Hillary Clinton can be commander in chief.

And what I would say is, that if you can’t defend our embassy, you won’t send the assets there, you preclude oneself from becoming deemed for commander in chief.
He also called for a broadening of the Republican party:
When our party looks like America — with earrings and without earrings, with ponytails and without ponytails, with tattoos and without tattoos — when we look like the rest of America — white, black, brown — we’re going to win again. We’ve got to go out and we’ve got to broaden our party, and when we do, we’ll be a national party again. We will win again.

Let’s be the party that actually wants to extend the right to vote. Some people say, well these people are going to be Democrats, more of them are going to be Democrats. Let’s be the party for voting rights, let’s be the party for restoring more voting rights, then more people will come to our party.

Tim Scott: The Republican Party is the real party of diversity

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

◼ Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., defended both the Republican Party and his own role as the first black senator from his home state since Reconstruction by saying the GOP is the real party of diversity in America. - Charles Hoskinson/Washington Examiner

"The GOP really has become the Great Opportunity Party," Scott told NBC's David Gregory on "Meet the Press" in an interview Sunday....

He also said the GOP's multiple responses to President Obama's State of the Union address were a sign of strength, not weakness.

"The reason why the party continues to grow is because we like the diversity of ideas, and when we've had that diversity of ideas, it helps us to build the best party for the future," he said. "At the end of the day, what America needs is a party that is as diverse as the Republican Party — that is why the great opportunity for our future comes out of the GOP."

A University of Wisconsin-Madison student earning his doctorate there, has told his supervisor he objects to the school’s mandated diversity training for teaching assistants (TAs) because leaders of the first session he attended essentially called him – and the whole class – racist.

◼ The letter, sent by email Sept. 22, states all new TAs in the university’s history department are required to attend one orientation session, two training sessions, and two diversity sessions. Morgan, in his letter, called the first of the two diversity sessions, held Friday, “an avalanche of insinuations, outright accusations, and suffocating political indoctrination (or, as some of the worksheets revealingly put it, ‘re-education’) entirely unbecoming a university of our stature.” - The College Fix
As you are probably aware, all new TAs in the History Department are required to attend one orientation session, two TA training sessions, and two diversity sessions. Yesterday (Friday, September 20th), we new TAs attended the first of the diversity sessions. To be quite blunt, I was appalled. What we were given, under the rubric of “diversity,” was an avalanche of insinuations, outright accusations, and suffocating political indoctrination (or, as some of the worksheets revealingly put it, “re-education”) entirely unbecoming a university of our stature.

...Please allow me to be quite frank. My job, which I love, is to teach students Japanese history. This week, for example, I have been busy explaining the intricacies of the Genpei War (1180-1185), during which time Japan underwent a transition from an earlier, imperial-rule system under regents and cloistered emperors to a medieval, feudal system run by warriors and estate managers. It is an honor and a great joy to teach students the history of Japan. I take my job very seriously, and I look forward to coming to work each day....

I regret that this leaves us in an awkward situation. After having been accused of virulent racism and, now, assured that I will next learn how to parse the taxonomy of “Genderqueers”, I am afraid that I will disappoint those who expect me to attend any further diversity sessions.
