This is a liberal vs. liberal fight. I say we let them fight each other and stay out of it. Offer no support for either side. Google, Yahoo and Facebook are no friends of ours.

You hire the best otherwise you are out of business.

Hey, why should they be any different than the rest of us. They are financing the "We know what's best for you" crowd, it's only fair they share in the grief.

Yep. There’s actually something refreshing about such liberal businesses finally being subjected to the sort of idiocy that they inflict on the rest of us. What would really be entertaining if tech VC firms were forced to ‘diversify’ to the level that their politics inflicts on the rest of the world.

“Diversifying the tech workforce will not only boost the bottom line,

And what evidence was provided for that PC blather?

Was at a very high end Microsoft class last month, 30 men and no females. Also, there was a sizable minority contingent but they all worked for DOD. They are out there, but they are mostly working for the Government at extremely high rates of pay.

When will the government diversify the NBA and the running back position in the NFL?

Disagree. These companies are run and staffed by Liberals (or at least people who pay lip service to Liberalism). I think its only right that they practice what they preach.

If not, then they should just STFU on politics and shut their checkbooks.

I spent years (part time) as an off site initial interviewer (head hunter) for several large corporations and all told me up front that they didn’t care the religion, sexual orientation, race or sex of the candidate as long as they were the best qualified for the job.

Really? How will employing underqualified, token minorities and women “boost the bottom line”?

Amusing
