Lawsuit: YouTube division’s job postings exclude white and Asian men

A former YouTube employee has filed a civil lawsuit against the company saying that it is not hiring white or Asian men so it can reach diversity quotas, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Arne Wilberg worked at Google for nearly a decade. Four years of his career were with YouTube, which is owned by Google, as a recruiter. But last year, Wilberg claims YouTube recruiters were told to cancel interviews where the candidate wasn't female, black or Hispanic. Wilberg also claims that recruiters were told to "purge entirely" applications that didn't meet the categories, the Journal reported.
