The memo made some very poignant points, but then the author expressed some strange opinions that I would never attempt to defend.
(Even worse, there was no reason to put some of these opinions in the memo.)
But what's more scary is Google's official response to the diversity memo. (For context, Google instituted certain hiring policies to increase diversity, which the "diversity memo" questioned.)
If you have the time, I suggest that you go reread the diversity memo and Google's response. Try to read them without taking sides. (It's hard.)
