Anti-diversity Google engineer fired: BBC News Review
Neil and Dan teach you the language the world's media is using to discuss this story:
A software engineer working for Google, who criticised the company’s diversity policy in an internal memo, says he’s been sacked for perpetuating gender stereotypes.
James Damore had claimed there were biological causes for men and women having different preferences and abilities, which might explain the lack of women in leadership and technical roles.
Google has said it won’t discuss individual cases.

Neil, you're a comedian and I really love the way you make jokes. Can you stop doing that please? 😂😂😂This funny sentence, I love it.
Is contentious synonym for controversial ?
Gender equality has been overused nowadays. My professor was told to lower his standard to admit “enough” girls just to keep the gender diversity of my university. So sad for those qualified boys who didn’t get the admissions.
Thank you.
Your lessons are so gripping. I'm totally hooked on 'em. I love your British accents.
I love Dan's stories! :)
i really enjoy watching and learning a new word from this video. thank you.

3:57 ..."between Neil and I".... Mustn't it be ..."between Neil and I"...?
thanks for these beneficial words :)
thank you for sharing knowledge to us.
Of course there are biological causes for femininity and masculinity and they favour different jobs. How ridiculous the world is becoming. How can there be anything wrong with holding that opinion?
The meat of matter is that the men have predisposition to develop the logical reasoning
Being diverse just to be diverse isn't good
Great news!
where can i find the subtitles, please?
Very good news review!
That smart engineer is the first rational person who dared to speak frankly and criticize the "FAKE" gender equality . Across the long human history we haven't seen women established dynasties, started wars, took the lead for new adventures, solved radical problems, or shaped the mankind history, except in a very few cases, and nowadays, after calling for the "so-called" gender equality for more than a century, we still see very limited number of women took the pioneer or even became equal to man in number in fields, like aviation, war fields, even in many sports like football and martial arts, when they do them there matches are not interesting, why? the answer is pretty as simple as this. The biological and physical differences between man and woman, which many folks under the leadership of the western values, don't believe in it, and they keep resist these crystal clear facts. Seriously, I am not anti-feminist or underestimating the woman's value at all. I had female managers over me in my career path, and some of them I learnt a lot from them, but that because they we worked in a field where women can work in, which is the software business applications. So, this is the point, we must confess that some areas women can participate in and do great job, and some they can't because of their nature, and this is not a hypothetical assumption, as mentioned above, they are the history, the current facts, scientific fact who say this not my opinion or that engineer's opinion. With my all respect to every woman, Regards,
