James just tried to point out that reasons for gender gab in tech might not be only sexism as current left leaning agenda dictates.
I understood memo more like complaining that employees with opinions that differ from "current left leaning agenda" are afraid to express them. And google proved him right by firing him.
This political correctness has brought us very close to Orwellian double think. Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote:

And used this as basis to fire guy who expressed his concerns.
His appeal to replace diversity of gender and race with diversity of thought is completely valid and reasonable.
