The problem is that a good lawyer is going to tell you that you have no case, since unless they literally write "Employee X was laid off because he was white", the administrative agencies and courts will consider the case unproven and not even worth going to discovery.
True, but they've also done them the favor of basically publicly documenting their racist decisions.
Of course, you'd have to nail them down on what an "anti-racist, anti-oppressive lens" actually means, but any reasonable jury would know exactly what they mean.
And also, of course, a lot of juries would be fine with it. Because we live in clown world.

That’s true. I used to work in HR. I should know better.
Dont be too hard on yourself: you're a black man in HR: as far removed from reality as a person can be.
Well I do regret leaving sometimes because with the craziness today I feel I could push back against it but that would probably have gotten me fired
