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.
AI is Red Neck as Fuck.

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.

Does the group of Elitists include the Brothers Koch ?

On the last four words somehow that never seems to be a problem for the faithful even though the world they envision or dream of is not coming

Who did you pick and why ?

Try this example:

You need a doctor to perform a critical surgery. One has a Jewish surname, another a Hindu Indian surname, another a name like Travon Jackson.

Since this is a life and death matter, you want the best. The Jewish guy is likely a graduate of a US medical school who had to compete with highly qualified applicants. The Indian guy might be a graduate of a low grade foreign medical school, and the Black sounding name guy may have been the product of an affirmative action program.

Regardless of what race the patient is, that patient may be inclined to chose the Jewish doctor.

Of course, in real life one would have more info on the individual doctors, like for example Travon above may have bee number one in his med school at William and Mary while the Jewish guy went to a Caribbean med school. And as such, this contrived situation is really no more valid that the "Candidates selected by HR" situation in an above post.

Is this not true?

Sadly, this occurs everywhere. Well-said also about religion, as FACTS do not matter to the sexist/racist/Islamophobic/sizeist/ableist crowd.

If "fucking white male" bashing continues, in next elections I will vote TRUMP even though I do not like him and did not vote in previous elections because all candidates sucked.

"I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented."

•"When I am told about our national heritage or about “civilization,” I am shown that people of my color made it what it is."

•"If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven’t been singled out because of my race."

•"I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time."

If you read through the rest of the list, you can see how white people and people of color experience the world in two very different ways.

Most of it is horrible bullshit.
1. TV - whites are severely underrepresented. We do not have "white entertainment TV", and every time I turn on TV, I see "diverse" group of actors etc. I do not care really, but I call BS.
2. Heritage of the civilization - do let me know what achievements come out of Sub-Saharan Africa. Our civilization comes from Mesopotamia and Egypt via Middle East to Greeks and Romans. Most of modern era inventions come from Europe, US, and Japan. I call ideologically-driven BS also on this. Furthermore, if the person does not like the current situation, then perhaps that person should not major in African or Womyns studies, but instead study engineering. That is difficult however; complaining is easier.
3. IRS audited conservatives I believe; also, would be nice to know how IRS knows your skin color. About cops - I have no love lost for them - I would like to see statistics with respect to singling out drivers by race. I saw statistics that being killed by cop when you are stopped has equal probability for any race.
4. I am in TX, and in this city I am a minority while being white. I am a minority also in my work place - majority are Asians. I do not see what is the fucking point - I feel comfortable not being majority here, I do not give a shit what race my coworkers or neighbors are. If someone has problems with other races being around and is complaining about it, then perhaps that person is a racist.
5. About different experience - why my Asian colleagues do not engage in complaining about everything?

I will pick Thanh Nguyen - and this shows your microaggression and cultural insensitivity as Thanh and Nguyen are Vietnamese names but Yasu is Japanese, and they do not get along very well. He will likely work hard, and if he screws up, I will be able to fire him. With Ashanique Kendasha Jackson - if she screws up, I will not be able to fire her without being sued. Even more likely, HR will not let me fire her even in case of extreme incompetence.

Hot air. Zero evidence. Fuck the media. In fact hiring quotas would suggest the exact opposite. This is why the lamestream media has become insignificant.
