Google's former Head of International Relations Ross LaJeunesse recently published criticism of his previous employer, citing discrimination against “women, the LGBTQ community [and] colleagues of color” as the reason for losing his job.

According to LaJeunesse, Google ran exercises for employees which required them to list stereotypes about different groups:
