The US-based Dalit civil rights group on Thursday accused Google’s office of having a racist and hostile environment. However, Google has denied the allegations. Dalit rights organization Equality Labs alleges that the Google management has exposed the lack of caste qualifications. This puts its employees at risk, as it allows racial bigotry and harassment to prevail in the company.
A Google spokesperson responded
“Racial discrimination has no place in our workplace,” Google spokeswoman Shannon Newbery told The Washington Post in response to Equality Labs’ allegations. We have a clear policy against discrimination and retaliation in our office. Everyone knows this. An Indian-American employee has resigned in connection with the case. The news of the alleged discrimination was first published in The Washington Post.
Equality Labs said in a statement that opponents of racial equality had internally spread misinformation about Sundararajan and Equality Labs until the Civil Rights Act was eventually repealed.

Google has a pattern of gender discrimination: Tanuja Gupta
