What the hell? Who is this targeted at?
there's a lot of western african immigrants in the UK so probably them
Personally I just think it's pretty funny, but the argument I've seen is that it's another example of the bigotry of low expectations. Essentially implying that the targeted demographic needs articles written in pidgin because they just can't or aren't going to learn proper english.
that's the thing though, if you've grown up knowing pidgin then learning standard english is just like learning another language; admittedly, it might be a bit easier than other languages since it's derived from english, but still. there are definitely a lot of pidgin sentences ive seen that are totally incomprehensible to me, and vice-versa for pidgin speakers with standard english most likely
so why stop at pidgin? why not just expect speakers of any other language to master english for online reading
I don't care that the they want to give pidgin speakers a site that's easier for them to understand.
I have to ask though, is there not a distinction between pidgin languages and proper languages? I mean pidgin is defined as a grammatically simplified combination of two languages as a result of the lack of understanding of one or both of those languages by two or more specific groups.
While this isn't a huge deal to me, I do understand the argument that is made against it, and I can see how it creates less incentive to learn either language properly.
these people are probably learning or already know standard english anyway, it's just nice to have content in the language you grew up with yknow
it's just news articles, if they want to actually interact with greater british society beyond their small communities they're obviously gonna have to know at least some english
The ember closed your hippie donkey this is a state of English bastardization
you talk about english bastardization and yet i have NO fucking clue what the first half of this sentence is supposed to mean
And now you see my point. I made a post, translated it into Zulu, then back to "English".
Badabing, as they say.
the only thing you proved is that you translated something from english to zulu then back to english
pidgin wasn't even in the google translate list

If Google didn't punish him, they would be accused of silently giving consent to his opinion. Regardless of what he said, the safest course of action is to just fire him.
So challenging his points in an open discussion was not an option at all? Is a representative of Google explicitly stating that they do not agree with or endorse his memo not evidence enough that they actually do not agree with or endorse his memo? You're telling me that firing him was the only way for Google to express that they did not agree with or endorse him?
I am absolutely not fond of the idea that an employee is not allowed to openly criticize the company/corporation they work for, and I do not like the precedent that is set by firing those who do openly criticize their employer.
You're forgetting the part where he (unintentionally) created a PR nightmare for Google and made cooperation with many of his coworkers difficult to impossible in practice.
The logic behind their decision makes perfect sense to me, it's just that the PR nightmare they faced isn't a factor for me in regards to my respect for them. Google was in a position where they were damned if they did or damned if they didn't. They chose not to uphold the values of freedom of expression and fire an employee for openly speaking their mind, and for that they get no respect from me.
get a life holy shit do you actually think google cares about your opinion they're a huge fucking company with an image to uphold and people investing in their company do you honestly think that for one second they will allow some guy using debunked studies to insult the women in his company and every other company to just go unpunished and completely ruin themselves for one guy who's a fucking idiot anyways
Simmer down there bub. Why the fuck would I think they care? I'm just discussing what I think because that's what this thread is for, is it not?
And christ how sensitive do you have to be to consider what was said in that memo an insult? I long for the day when people realize they don't have to take offense to everything they disagree with.
shut your Buddha mayatero ass up for real
I'm also discussing how you're a dumbass for thinking google is not gonna fire some guy acting like an idiot in the workplace. It's an insult because it's pseudoscience. If he was actually posting facts there might be some validity in your argument (and his), but there isn't. He acted unprofessionally, insulted his coworkers, and tarnished Google's name. What the fuck did you think was gonna happen?

When did I ever say I thought they weren't going to fire him? I haven't even implied that I thought they weren't going to fire him. I explicitly only said that I don't respect their decision. I think you should reread what I've posted because your perception of it seems to be awfully skewed. You seem to feel pretty strongly about the guy and google's decision. It's fine if you don't agree with me, but don't let your feelings on the matter get in the way of understanding what I'm actually saying. I feel strongly about how pigheaded and dumb you are tbh As for his points being pseudoscience, I have seen comments from legitimate psychologists saying that his points were based on actual research and that, essentially, even though there is no consensus within the field of psychology as to whether or not that research is correct and that more research needs to be done on the subject, the man at least based his ideas on something tangible and real (that being the studies conducted in that research) and didn't just conjure these points out of thin air. Debunked research. Flee made a post earlier in this thread or somewhere else, quote him or some shit if you're honestly going to be this coy about it. If the guy is wrong, then he's wrong, and people should refute his ideas with research that shows the contrary to that which he's basing his points on. Educate him on why he's wrong. A grown man undermining his superiors and insulting his colleagues in the work place deserves to get fired if not suspended at the least. Especially when he's wrong. You don't "educate" someone like this, you get them the hell away from your company as fast as possible. He shouldn't need to be educated on this, he should know it already. If we can google this shit and know it, how does a google employee not know this? Acting like he's some kind of bigot, making false claims about his memo being some kind of 'anti-diversity' memo even though it is specifically talking about ways in which he thinks google can still try to diversify their workforce without discriminating against certain people, And "American" Nazis talk about how they're just "race realists" and want what's best for all races, but really they're just racist dumbasses. It's entirely disingenuous of people to portray him in that way. It's entirely disingenuous of you to paint him as this martyr fighting for workers rights, but here we are. Even if what he said was wrong, he was civil and reasonable in his arguments, You really consider what he did to be civil and reasonable? Sure, he wasn't ranting like a raving lunatic and knocking over tables, but come on. Let's be real about this. he based those arguments on actual research, Faulty, debunked research. and constructively expressed methods that he thought could help google continue to diversify its workforce without discriminating against certain people. And despite that, he was still fired, which google has the right to do, ergo I cannot respect their decision even though I understand the logic behind it perfectly well. It's not constructive to send out a company wide "manifesto" based on bullshit research that confirms his own biases. If my opinion makes you angry or you think that I'm an idiot then so be it, I don't care whether or not you're pleased with me or what I think. Just at least understand my opinion before you decide that I am one. I just dislike you, the way you talk/write, and your general demeanor and attitude. You seem to just be playing devils advocate here. And why do you keep trying to use 'buddha' as a pejorative? smh
Because it is. It's the religion of lazy bums in the east, and vapid airheads who are "spiritual but don't believe in god" in the west.
