What happened to James Damore is no lynching- of any type.
He made statements that impact his relationship with his coworkers. If he doesn't like Google's policies, QUIT. Get a job at a place Damore finds fit.
What the author is really saying is: I wish Sundar Pichai recognize
- That being fired is humiliating (Empathy)
- That Damore is a "victim" (Diversity)
- That the employer can fire anyone at anytime BUT you should discuss it with each-other, tolerate, cooperate (Inclusion)
These are things even Damore himself wouldn't approve.
"...modern-day Internet lynching..."
Lynching, a practice primarily used by white men to terrorize black citizens
When you say, "...lawsuits can be targeted at whoever one wishes" it is evident that you are male, white. A bit of background on who and why may help...
It is the Federal government suing these companies. Blame Obama. But not to worry, Trump will redeem male whites.
Racism in 2016, in Healthcare:
- Black scientists are systematically underfunded
- Black Women Are 40 Percent More Likely To Die From Breast Cancer Than White Women
- Facilities treating African-American population are associated with a decrease in the availability and use of surgical services and an increase in emergency visits
- Republican governors’ ongoing resistance to the optional Medicaid expansion disproportionately harms African-Americans
- minorities are seriously underrepresented in health care professions
In education,
- Black students trail White students with respect to educational access, achievement, and attainment
- White teachers teachers predisposed to have lower
expectations of Black students and a lack of respect for the students’ families and primary culture
- When racism is taught in schools, its often presented as an individual problem, not an institutional one. This leads many white Americans to believe that discrimination occurs in a vacuum
