how seriously....

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ca

Just a quick question. How seriously are discrimination suits against white people taken in courts?

 

[cbg]

As seriously as any other.

The issue is not the race of the individual. It's whether or not that race was the basis for their treatment.

So Caucasian is a protected class?

So Caucasian is a protected class?

Yes. It is.

 

[round 1]

Yes. It is.

Ok so why do a lot of people say its almost impossible to sue an employer if your white.. And I've got strong evidence that there was racial discrimination and lawyers seem to not have the balls to take on my case

Since I'm not privy to your strong evidence, my best guess is because what you may perceive as evidence may not be considered legal admissible evidence.

Well my evidence is that I have text messages asking my old boss of why didn't my old job do anything about the racial slurs and that I complained many times to my supervisor many times and nothing was ever done about it he and the co worker are both hispanic and I'm Caucasian

And these text messages are all you have? Nothing admitting to the slurs taking place? No HR reports?

 

[round 1]

Yes I have one report from human resources when I complained personally

My law dictionary refers to this as "Reverse discrimination".

The case last year concerning the New Haven White Firefighters was decided in the SC, they won.

RD, and I have read case law on this in my state, is harder to prove because it is seldom litigated. The burden of proof is the same, by a Preponderance of the evidence, but "convincing" the trier of fact is the key here.

So "reverse discrimination" does exist?

Sure, "Affirmative action" is nothing more than reverse discrimination to me. However, such actions have been court sanctioned, fact specific of course.

Title 7 violations are not permitted.

Discrimination is discrimination. Period. Nothing will ever change the truth of that statement. But *so* many people fail to recognize the redundancy and insist on including the superfluous "reverse" that it is becoming legitimate by consensus. It's the same reason why I saw a "hot water heater" for sale at Lowes, and why it's just a matter of time before "supercede" is an officially correct spelling.

Nothing redundant about it, it is simply an "identifier" in the law.

Ever hear of a "negative pregnant" in the law? Not connected here, just a weird sounding term.

I have read case law where the term itself is used by the court's. It is legal phraseology, that's all.

This it NOT evidence. It is allegations.

What you have are several e-mails in which YOU CLAIM that there are problems. You have not mentioned any admission from the company that there are problems. You have provided nothing that proves that the discrimination was occuring.

Even if HR received your complaint and investigated it, they are under no obligation to reveal to you the results of their investigation or any actions taken as a result of their investigation.
