"Oracle suppressed starting salaries for its female and non-White employees, assigned them to lower level positions and depressed their wages over the years they worked at Oracle," the Labor Department said in its lawsuit Tuesday.

The lawsuit also alleges Oracle has a strong preference for hiring Asians who are recent college graduates, saying that about 90 percent of the company's 500 college and university hires made between 2013 and 2106 were Asian. The complain also alleges that Oracle prefers to hire visa-holding Asians who recently graduated college, a preference the Labor Department says "lends itself to suppression of that workforce's wages"
