    This is very poor judgement on the VPs part. Why admit such a thing? Imagine if he had said “I used to hate all black people, but now that I’ve grown and learned it’s ok for me to admit now” 🥴. What?? Imagine how the black people on his team would feel after expressing such a confession. Right call on getting fired.

      The “I used to be anti-semitic” was the least problematic statement. It was pretty much everything else, like:

      1. I am also a Jew. I am .1% Jew according 23&me
      2. My first investor was Jew i made him a lot of money.
      3. I am Semite too (Egyptians are not Semitic)
      4. My friend Hector was not a kafir/disbeliever as far as I’m concerned. (If you speak Arabic you know how derogatory “kafir” is, and how casual Arabs say it)
      5. Jews are no more special than anyone else.
      6, I like lots of Jewish celebrities. Even Einstein.

      Google needs to do better than hire famous people with no interpersonal skills and low EQ. He then flipped out on people for voicing their discomfort with his TWO HOUR LONG VIDEO lecture on issues outside his expertise. I spoke to 2 Palestinians today who said they wished Egyptians would just stop talking.

    • Damn optimo your post was almost good until you ended up being racist towards Egyptians...

  • I lost it at the part where he says he's 0.1% Jewish. This is so wild it sounds like a joke 😂

    It seems like this could’ve been a “I was brought up this way and learned we’re all alike etc etc” article that would’ve probably been fine - people grow and learn, and similar things have been said about overcoming upbringing. But this guy just said “I hated Jews but now I know a few good ones”

      You claimed the writer’s bias was mine, for starters.

      This has been fun (it hasn’t) but I’m done, take care and try not to say or write dumfuckingly stupid things and get fired for it.

    • I never claimed the writer's bias was yours, I suggested you reflect on your own biases.

  • There was a guy who wrote manifesto on gender. Seems like a workplace trend at Google
