This was entirely Starbucks fault. They made it so incredibly obvious that the white employee was being targeted and the black employees weren't.
Most companies aren't this bold and stupid, I'm guessing removing all the 'woke' stuff is a product of this decision because Starbucks realized they have some true morons in their HR departments who will cost them serious money.
I can't even imagine what a fuckup you'd have to be to lose this lawsuit in a society where anti-white discrimination is not only accepted, but expected...as long as you play by the rules.
All you have to do is fire her without giving a reason, or give some bullshit reason, then fill the position with a want ad that says "we highly value diversity and encourage marginalized people to apply". Everyone knows what that means but nobody can protest it because technically it's not saying anything bad. Presto, bulletproof discrimination.
We're not quite at the level where you can just say "white people need not apply" yet, although we are very, very close.
