James Damore rose to dubious fame when, last month, he published a lengthy, anti-women and anti-diversity screed that made the rounds at Google, and then the entire internet.
For saying such things as “women generally [have] a harder time …speaking up, and leading,” and saying Google should curb its diversity initiatives, he was fired.
Damore became a bit of a cause célèbre for the right, which believed that Google had infringed on his right to free speech. But well, as they say, unfortunately, all your faves are problematic.
Today, Damore tweeted a poll question to his followers. It asks, “doesn’t the KKK have some cool names?”
Yeah, OK.

This is like asking why you can’t name your baby “Hitler,” but please, continue.

Many television shows and movies and board games and LARPing games use the term wizards—while not advocating race war.
But most everyone already knows that. Save for the guy who, you know, claims he’s not racist.
