Conservatives: - believe that companies should be able to do what they want in hiring. For example, a Christian company receiving federal grants should be allowed to discriminate. - think it's an outrage that a company with progressive values fired someone who challenged them.

If a company discovers that its processes systemically discriminate against a demographic, it is not discrimination to change the processes to eliminate the mistake.

This is enough words about this inane point, but I'm frankly tired of progressives hearing Damore's points about wondering whether we actually are hypocrites in some way.

THEY ARE PLAYING YOU. They don't care whether companies fire people by their own admission (see fights to allow boy scouts to fire gay leaders). They're exploiting progressives by trying to use our own axioms and language against us.

If you see a conservative talking about the importance of diversity, or about how conservatives are being "discriminated against", they are trolling you.

Just so I understand, you're saying that Jews are overrepresented and I wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize that?

In what way are efforts to compensate for systemic mistakes in recruitment equivalent to "scapegoating"?

I'm assuming that there are well-known systemic mistakes that are easy to understand without analyzing the statistics. An easy example in academia: tenure clocks coincide with timeframes in which women commonly have children, making it harder for them to get tenure.

It's easy (and reasonable) to conclude that there is no intrinsic rationale for that coupling and therefore the policy should be changed to accommodate different life schedules better. It would be incorrect to describe that as "scapegoating" men.

Do you generally have a problem with correcting mistakes that have a disproportionate (bad) impact on some demographic because it will mean that fewer members of the demographic without the problems (in aggregate) will be represented?

Why? Discrimination is discrimination? Unfairly pushing equity is unfair. Like unfairly pushing for more whites in a basketball team. Can you say that then black players (who were better but deselected based on color) were not discriminated against?

That's not true. You can have (and do have) companies with majority Indian developers, who get lower wages than American developers.

Representation is completely separate from discrimination. This is a redefinition of the term.
