A former Google engineer who wrote a controversial memo criticizing the company’s diversity policies sued the tech giant on Monday for allegedly discriminating against white male conservatives.

James Damore, who was fired in 2017 in the aftermath of the scathing memo, brought forward the class action lawsuit on Jan. 8, the Guardian reported. Appended to the suit are nearly 100 pages of screenshots of internal communications in which employees discuss sensitive political issues.
