Lawsuit accuses Google of fostering systemic bias against Black employees
A new lawsuit against Google accuses the company of fostering a"racially biased corporate culture" that offers Black employees lower pay and fewer opportunities to advance than their white counterparts, reports
. Filed on Friday with a federal court in San Jose, California, the complaint alleges the company subjected former diversity recruiter April Curley and other current and former Black employees to a hostile work environment.. Shortly afterward, she claims she was subjected to denigrating comments from her managers, who allegedly stereotyped her as an"angry" black woman while passing her over for promotions.
"While Google claims that they were looking to increase diversity, they were actually undervaluing, underpaying and mistreating their Black employees," Curley's lawyer told. The complaint notes Black people make up only 4.4 percent of employees at Google and approximately 3 percent of its leadership.Curley is not the first person to accuse Google of fostering a work environment hostile to Black employees and other people of color.
