The problem here, with everything about this D&I crap, is that there’s no way to prove it. I’m sure Google will settle, and this grifter will “get paid,” but proving wrongdoing is going to be hard. This is why these companies do this D&I crap. It’s not about true belief but virtue signaling. It’s to cover their ass in exactly these cases.
I work for a big tech company, and when it comes around time to do the D&I training, I just refuse. I tell my boss that our customers are my priority, and I’ve yet to be reprimanded, held back for a promotion, a bonus, or a raise. I’m not going to sit through half a week of D&I courses to be told how my non-existent slaveholding ancestors exerted their privilege.
I’d keep her in court for years and demand she actually prove it. She cannot prove it. Its all in her head.
These issues roots go back to social promotion and affirmative action in schools; when you have an unofficial two-tiered system of diplomas/degrees, then you have to maintain the charade by treating them as equal in the corporate world - so illiterate tokens with a third-grade education receive high school diplomas, and semi-literate tokens with sixth-grade educations receive bachelors degrees. They finish “playing school” and are basically unemployable for anything but unskilled or low-skilled work, so the gubmint through threat of lawsuits simply forces employers to take them on (after hiring as many of them as the gubmint itself possibly can while still functioning with “real” workers). Once they are hired, those fake degrees/diplomas have to be acknowledged as valid in terms of compensation with “real” worker peers - merit/capabilities play no role in it anymore.
The mass trafficking of Hispanics has provided a viable work-around for many employers; at some point they’ll be removed from the “preferred minority” hiring category. Blacks already want white women removed, citing no real “disadvantage” at all.
