Plaintiff April Curley filed the lawsuit in federal court in San Jose, Calif., and is seeking to upgrade the case to a class action. Curley said Google kept blacks working in a hostile work environment, including routinely asking them to show ID or being questioned by security at its Mountain View, Calif., campus.
Moreover, the lawsuit says Google maintains a “racially biased corporate culture” that favors white men. Blacks make up just 4.4 percent of the workforce and about 3 percent of leadership and technical staff.
