Are You an Asian or Caucasian Discriminated Against Via Affirmative Action, DEI and ESG?

 We are expanding our civil rights discrimination practice post Harvard and UNC Supreme Court decisions on the constitutionality of affirmative action by state actors and private employers with over 15 employees. If you have suffered from discrimination by any federal, state or local government or a private employer with more than 15 employees, we believe these decisions open the door for Title VI and Title VII lawsuits for the following:



  1. Racial preferences and quotas that exclude anyone on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
  2. The use of numerical benchmarks and specific hiring quotas based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin..
  3. Any DEI or ESG policies that pick winners and losers on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
  4. Any DEI and ESG policies, such as mandatory anti-racism training, that create a hostile work environment which is a well-recognized form of employment discrimination.

 

We have spent decades combating discrimination representing protected classes for discrimination based on race and gender. This change only makes it clear discrimination is illegal; based on race no matter what race with which you identify. These decisions make the discrimination and hostile work environment created by most of these DEI and ESG programs no longer something that can just be hidden away. At our firm, we stand against all discrimination in any form, against any person and by any person, government, or company. We welcome the opportunity to expand out discrimination practice to help end all discrimination.
