  • It's not the first (this follows a suit against Red Hat by a former employee, and a suit against IBM by the state of Missouri). And it probably won't be the last.

    Discrimination against non-Whites will not be tolerated.
    Discrimination against Whites is fine - as long as the discrimination is done in the name of non-discrimination.

      From the perspective of the law, this is not true. And most judges will follow the law. Even those whose politics will disagree, most will put the law before politics.

      ​@@muhdiversity7409you're right - HR is never the *employee's* friend. But it *is* supposed to be the *company's* friend. The OP was right in that HR's sole function is to be the stop-gap to prevent the company from taking an action that will lead to a law suit. Like stopping them from discriminating against a protect class - race. Not encouraging the company to do just that.

    It's not being afraid of the employer that's really the issue, it's the fall-out. You come out against company X, whose else is going to touch you? Most company are now participating in some form of racist, or xenophobic hiring. They might not say it out loud, they might not write it down, but it's a fact that having lighter skin and male genitalia is going to hamper your movement, unless you fake being gay, trans or just invent something new so you get special status.
    The other reality is that if you make a point of the illegal hiring practices, other companies won't risk hiring you, because you're associated. Maybe those companies aren't participating in the same BS, but that fact you made a statement makes you radioactive. If you want to test your company, and you have the ability to screen resumes, load the first round with while males and see what happens, if they don't bat an eye or hesitate, you're good to go.
    In case anyone knows who I work for, they are one of the good guys, an absolute stand-up corporation, a small corporation, but a good one. Before they hired me, I went on several interviews where I was denied a job because I'm not a minority, and I'll leave it at that.
