Think about @jack if people can win lawsuits for racial slurs. 18 USC 241 (Conspiracy against rights) should be a start

Racial discrimination lawsuits against big-name companies such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Abercrombie & Fitch, and General Electric have focused national attention on the indignities that minority employees suffer on the job. Not only have such lawsuits pointed out common forms of discrimination that workers of color face they also serve as cautionary tales to companies seeking to foster diversity and eradicate racism in the workplace.

 

Although a black man landed the nation’s top job in 2008, many workers of color aren’t so lucky. Because of racial discrimination in the workplace, they earn less pay than their white counterparts, miss out on promotions and even lose their jobs.

 

Racial Slurs and Harassment at General Electric

 

 

General Electric came under fire in 2010 when 60 African American workers filed suit against the company for racial discrimination. The black workers say GE supervisor Lynn Dyer called them racial slurs such as the N-word, “monkey,” and “lazy blacks.”

 

The suit also alleged that Dyer denied bathroom breaks and medical attention to black workers and fired black workers because of their race. In addition, the suit alleged that higher-ups knew about the supervisor’s inappropriate behavior but delayed investigating the matter.

 

In 2005, GE faced a lawsuit for discriminating against black managers. The suit accused the company of paying black managers less than whites, denying them promotions and using offensive terms to describe blacks. It settled in 2006.
