His case is not based on discrimination based solely on race and gender.
> He could claim he was fired for political action in the workplace, but that isn't protected speech so Google were not in the wrong about that.
Are you sure about that? My understanding is that his essay was posted in a forum that was explicitly set up to discuss labor practices. From my lay perspective, it certainly looks like it's covered under labor laws. It's not like he was posting Klan flyers on the breakroom bulletin board; he was participating in a discussion sanctioned by the company.
