UPDATE: Google is already trying to get ahead of this. Check out the video posted on LiveLeak listed below.

"It's not worth thinking about this as an isolated incident and instead a manifestation of what ails all of Silicon Valley."
At least eight Google employees tweeted Friday about a document that was circulated within the company calling for replacing Google's diversity initiatives with policies that encourage "ideological diversity" instead. The document, which is the personal opinion of one senior software engineer, was shared on a company mailing list but has since gone "internally viral," according to a Google employee who spoke with Motherboard.
Google Employee's Anti-Diversity Manifesto Goes 'Internally Viral' - Live Leak Video shows Proof Google is Censoring and Manipulating Search Results
EDIT: Watch the LiveLeak video which connects the dots to the article based on the internal memo.
When will people wake up?
We are being spoon fed what the establishment wants us to consume.
SUMMARY: Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter are manipulating all content to force the primary consumer of social media (millennials) into a mindset that is left extremist. The LiveLeak video details this and correlates directly to the internal manifesto by the Google employee whose message is Google only supports an extreme left mentality.

Or you could just apply some basic common sense and assume that Google operates like many other large corporations in it's pathetic virtue signalling.
No?
What you call "virtue signaling," the US Government calls equal opportunity employment. In fact, the only documented actions of Google in the thread stem from addressing concerns brought by the Department of Labor.
Next?

It isn't equal opportunity. It is equity. Meeting a quota isn't completely open opportunity presented equally to everyone.
How do you figure this is some manner of equality?????

as a current/former executive, I can tell you that if you circulate a memo with only your opinion on it while being an executive, you have created policy.
Its not just an opinion when its an executive circulating something on company letterhead, or via company electronic systems.

but, alas, the world isn't a perfect place.
And any attempts to make it such, will only make it more imperfect.
Is an individuals inherent bias more or less innocent than forcing bias institutionally?

Institutionally meaning any organizational level. From small business policies to government mandates.
I'll give some examples. Individual biases would be me frequenting a business run by people I like (for their race, religion, sex, or creed). Institutional biases would be a business like google giving preference to certain people (based on their race, religion, sex, or creed).
Is one worse than the other?
