In doing so, Damore also painted gross generalizations against women, accusing them of being more neurotic and anxiety-ridden, and he believes these supposed traits render women unsuitable for the stress of higher-level tech jobs.
Two former Google employees have filed a class-action lawsuit Monday against Google, with the allegation that the company discriminates against conservative white men, The Hill reported.
Photo James Damore's lawsuit against Google, which fired him previous year after he criticized its diversity efforts, said, "Google's open hostility for conservative thought is paired with invidious discrimination on the basis of race and gender".

Trump's administration has denied having any hand in the demonstrations, saying they arose completely spontaneously. Due to the Trump administration, it's not only watching, it's also acting.
"Google's open hostility for conservative thought is paired with invidious discrimination on the basis of race and gender".
Another former Google engineer, David Gudeman, is also named in the lawsuit.
"(Google applies) illegal hiring quotas to fill its desired percentages of women and favored minority candidates, and openly shames managers of business units who fail to meet their quotas-in the process, openly denigrating male and Caucasian employees as less favored than others."
What does Sessions' policy mean for the future of marijuana?
To say this is an established industry with thousands of people and livelihoods depending on it would be an understatement. "I can't sit here and say whether it will or will not lead to more marijuana prosecutions", the official continued.
Google fired Damore after he wrote a 10-page memo titled "Google's Ideological Echo Chamber: How bias clouds our thinking about diversity and inclusion".
Damore and Dhillon are expected to have a press conference at 12 p.m.in San Francisco.
"This lawsuit is really meant to help everyone, both at Google, and people affected by Google's products, and potential future employees", he said.
Iranian leader Khamenei blames 'enemies' for protests
The protests started on December 28 in Mashhad and unexpectedly spread to dozens of cities across the country. Now, they've morphed into demands for wholesale change in Iran's theocratic government.
Google fired Damore in August after he distributed a 3,000-word missive arguing that the "preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership". Google denied those claims to NBC News.
