That was an eye-opener. Thank you.
The diversity thing hit MIT years ago. When I was a student there long ago, women made up about 2 percent of the student body. In the 1980s came the push to enroll more women and minorities. MIT may have lowered or changed admission standards to greatly increase the number of women and minority students. As I remember, some on the MIT faculty then complained that the students could no longer do the work required in their courses.
Apparently, fewer women than men have extremely high mathematical ability. And more men than women have extremely low mathematical ability. Those differences may be related to the y-chromosome that men have and women don't. See for example the following argument: https://evolutionistx.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/women-math-and-the-y-chromosome/.
Such genetic difference between men and women might explain why more males go into fields like computer programming. And it is a fair question: should Google force diversity in a field where genetics favors one sex more than the other? Shouldn't a company, or a university for that matter, base their hiring or admissions and promotions on ability and demonstrated performance?
Here’s a new one. Google “American inventor”. Then google “Inventor Americano”. It will blow your mind.
