How did he inflict damage on the company?

Whoever _leaked_ this _internal memo_ did the damage, but I haven't seen any
witch hunt or firing in that regard.

Strange, eh?

Language and gender nit-pick: having men and women at 100% parity is not
gender diversity, it is gender-binary. You would have to hire a lot more non-
binary-gendered people for it to be diverse.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if non-binary-gendered people are _over-
represented_ in tech.

True fact: saying "I'm not a racist but..." makes anything you say afterwards
definitely not racist.

Prefacing an argument with "But before you guys mistakenly think that I'm
racist - remember - I have black friends" is not the most important point in
an argument.

It is, arguably, the least important one. So much so, that it is a non-
sequitur.
