As the Ellen Pao sex discrimination trial continues to captivate Silicon Valley, the law firm representing Ms. Pao has filed a bias case on behalf of another woman against an even bigger target: Facebook.

Chia Hong, who worked for Facebook from 2010 to 2013, said that she faced discrimination, harassment and retaliation — and was eventually fired — because she is a woman and of Taiwanese descent, according to a lawsuit filed in state court in San Mateo County, where the company is based.

In response to Ms. Hong's suit, Facebook said in a statement: "We work extremely hard on issues related to diversity, gender and equality, and we believe we've made progress."

就在鲍康如(Ellen Pao)性别歧视案持续在硅谷引发热议的同时，代表她的律师事务所又为另一名女性提交了歧视诉讼状，这次针对的公司规模更大：Facebook。

在Facebook总部所在地圣马特奥市的州法院提交的一份诉讼资料显示，洪嘉(音译)2010年至2013年供职于Facebook，她说由于自己是女性，而且有台湾血统，在该公司受到歧视、骚扰和报复，并最终遭到解雇。

对于洪嘉的诉讼，Facebook发表声明说：“我们在多元化、性别和平等问题上付出了极大的努力，我们相信已经在这些方面取得了进展。”
