RUSH: Folks, there\u2019s a lawsuit in California\u2019s San Mateo County Superior Court. It alleges that YouTube set minority hiring quotas. The suit\u2019s filed by somebody named Arne Wilberg, a YouTube recruiter who also worked for YouTube\u2019s parent company, Google.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, Wilberg claims that last spring, YouTube recruiters were instructed to only interview female, black, or Hispanic applicants. The suit also says the company told recruiters to \u201cpurge\u201d the applications of anyone not fitting those categories.<\/p>\n

Wilberg, a white male, says he complained — and when he was ignored, he went to Google management. Shortly thereafter, they fired him.<\/p>\n

Google says this is rubbish, that they don\u2019t use \u201cidentity\u201d to hire, just merit.<\/p>\n

According to the Wall Street Journal, 69% of Google\u2019s employees are men, white and Asian guys account for 91% of their staff, and the tech industry has had a big push to \u201cdiversify.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Journal also reports that \u201cpeople familiar with\u201d Google and YouTube hiring practices corroborate some of the lawsuit\u2019s allegations — including the hiring freeze on white and Asian guys and YouTube\u2019s use of racial quotas.<\/p>\n

The Journal says the lawsuit \u201cthreatens to ignite simmering controversy about Silicon Valley\u2019s politics, and whether its predominantly liberal ideology is affecting how companies operate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wha…? That\u2019s controversial? Is there anybody, anywhere, who thinks liberal ideology hasn\u2019t infected and corrupted Silicon Valley\u2019s operations top to bottom? There are people that still don\u2019t know that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
