Google (https://mashable.com/category/google/) is now facing a new lawsuit over diversity, but from the opposite side of the one that you've probably heard about. On Thursday, Gizmodo reported (https://gizmodo.com/google-fired-and-disciplined-employees-for-speaking-out-1822277125) that former Google employee Tim Chevalier is suing Google for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination.
Chevalier's lawsuit (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4384662-Chevalier-Complaint.html) alleges he was fired for calling out racism and sexism in internal Google forums, and that his views were targeted in part on the basis of his identity as transgender, queer, and disabled. In particular, he spoke out about white male privilege, in response to James Damore's "anti-diversity" memo (https://mashable.com/2017/08/05/google-anti-diversity-document/) in which Damore made the case that women may have less preference and aptitude for engineering jobs for biological reasons.* Read more...
