The powers that be caught wind of a pro-meritocracy diversity argument circulating internally at Google.
Needless to say, the response to this calm and rational argument was to immediately misrepresent the argument as sexist and racist in all public forums and media.
The official diversity director at Google has already publicly shamed and we can soon expect this anonymous person to be placed on a cross.

Opening excerpt (ironically predicting the media reception)
"I value diversity and inclusion, am not denying that sexism exists, and don’t endorse using stereotypes. When addressing the gap in representation in the population, we need to look at population level differences in distributions. If we can’t have an honest discussion about this, then we can never truly solve the problem. Psychological safety is built on mutual respect and acceptance, but unfortunately our culture of shaming and misrepresentation is disrespectful and unaccepting of anyone outside its echo chamber. Despite what the public response seems to have been, I’ve gotten many personal messages from fellow Googlers expressing their gratitude for bringing up these very important issues which they agree with but would never have the courage to say or defend because of our shaming culture and the possibility of being fired. This needs to change."
