Google accused of excluding Asians, whites for some positions

A lawsuit alleges the search giant set hiring quotas for some technical positions.

A former Google recruiter was fired from his job for objecting to a company practice of rejecting Asian and white male candidates for technical positions, according to a civil lawsuit filed against the internet giant.

Arne Wilberg, who worked at Google for nine years, alleges Google set quotas for hiring minorities, Bloomberg reported Thursday. The lawsuit, filed in January in California's San Mateo County Superior Court, claims he was fired by Google in retaliation for complaining to human resources about the company's hiring practices, the news agency reported.

The controversy comes as Silicon Valley companies grapple with how to increase workforce diversity in an industry dominated by white men and permeated with corporate cultures that seem biased against women and female engineers. Google, Facebook, Microsoft and other tech companies now regularly release diversity reports, highlighting low percentages of women and minority employees, with few moving up the management chain.

Google had "irrefutable policies, memorialized in writing and consistently implemented in practice, of systematically discriminating in favor job applicants who are Hispanic, African American, or female, and against Caucasian and Asian men," according to Wilberg's complaint.

If the Whites don't win then AI will jump in.

Does "Asian" include people of Hindu decent?

One way around this white purge would be for white men to follow the Liz Warren example - just claim to be whatever minority is most desired at the moment. If you had a gramps who drank authentic Indian firewater, claim to be Cherokee. You could also use the Bruce Jennner method - stuff you slong into some silk panties, borrow the Boy George -Tammy Faye Baker face make up kit, add a dress and wig - then claimed to be female.

And whites are racist? Oh the irony.

I'm surprised this lawsuit took so long to get filed.

Then again, maybe it's not so surprising. Even daring to mention the pervasive racism and sexism against white men in the bay area instantly gets you labelled as racist and sexist yourself. Most programmers are not socially adept enough to know how to handle such unfounded accusations, and so do nothing to defend themselves. Or they resort to objective scientific facts, like James Damore did, not realizing that he was dealing with a religion. Facts are not wanted and make no difference to a religion which proclaims that discrimination against white people based solely on their race is not racism and discrimination against men based solely on their gender is not sexism.

The chink in the armor, so to speak, is the great success of Asians in spite of starting from poverty. How can "white privilege" be reconciled with Asian success? It cannot, because white privilege is only a fabrication created to justify hate. There are more white people living in poverty than any other group, and their death rate has been rising while simultaneously falling for every other group.

One can only hope that the lawsuit succeeds and that we all start treating each other as fellow Americans to be judged on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.
