MOUNTAIN VIEW, California: Google, in seeking to improve its workforce diversity, imposed illegal hiring quotas favouring women, blacks and Latinos and discriminating against white and Asian men, a former employee claims in a lawsuit. 

Former Google recruiter Arne Wilberg, who worked in the company's YouTube division, also alleges that the Mountain View tech giant systematically discriminated against older engineers in its hiring and sought to purge internal correspondence about its illegal employment practices.
