The reaction/summary:
Basically, black employees at a New York manufacturing company filed a lawsuit after employers ‘turned the other cheek’ when racist remarks were made. The result of the lawsuit was $250,000 to be split among the abused employees. In addition, the company fired the people who made the racist remarks, stating ‘they won’t tolerate conduct that violates its policies against discrimination and harassment.’
I think it’s good that these men stood up for themselves, and it’s good that the company took action (eventually). It’s small things like this that often go unnoticed, but are crucial in the battle against racism.
