“Hopefully, this will change after a couple of very expensive,very public lawsuits. This is the only way such employers will learn.”
It is difficult to see white anti discrimination lawsuits happening
1). Who is going to fund the lawsuit? The middle class white person who unfairly loses a job doesn’t have the means. Social justice groups and government agencies, aren’t going to fund white discrimination lawsuits. In fact the government, with its unlimited resources, will likely be on the opposing side (defense) and funding it.
2). The best attorneys and law firms won’t take on such lawsuits. They don’t want to incur the wrath of the media and leftist organizations. Plus they make too much money on minority discrimination lawsuits.
3). The risk of drawing an unfriendly liberal judge to hear the case is high.
4). If it goes to jury trial, a mixed race jury may vote on racial lines. If so the plaintiff loses.
5). If the plaintiff loses in the first round, appeals are expensive and can take years to work their way through the system. Even if the white can get funding, can she or he afford to put life on hold for years?
5). Forget finding a new job if you are involved in litigation against a former employer.
6) Be prepared to be ostracized by former friends, coworkers and family. Even if you have the personal fortitude to withstand the hatred of others, how many will subject ther spouse and children to years of psychological warfare by institutions and other people.
This is a complete and expansive reply to my “let’s sue for wrongful termination!” approach.
It’s looking at the entire process and it’s likely effects on the Plaintiff. Thanks for the breakdown.

There was one. And probably only one.
