One of the things to come out of discovery in the Damore lawsuit was Google's head of HR declaring a moratorium on hiring white males. Technically a Civil Rights Act violation, but more commonly practiced and tolerated on the downlow than one might suppose absent insider information like what came out of discovery in the Damore lawsuit.

Do you have a source for this? The closest thing I could find is [1], which says some Google employee (not the head of HR) suggested such a moratorium on an internal mailing list. It’s not clear that such a policy was ever implemented or even seriously considered.
