Since when has "diversity" included having to keep bigots on payroll? Should we start an affirmative action program to keep sexist douchebags employed at major companies?

We'll know when Silicon Valley culture has been sufficiently reformed when an asshole getting fired isn't treated to a barrage of laments about "slippery slopes", "cancel culture" or "damn SWJs".

Since...always? That is what diversity means, aren't you employed? Diversity is not only about what you look like, or the color of your skin, and it doesn't mean to throw a tantrum every time your feelings get hurt either in case you weren't aware.

In that you are correct, that is the bottom of the slope.
