33:24Now Playing"If white fragility were a Supreme Court case this is what that case would look like ..." - Elie Mystal, Justice Correspondent for The Nation
A dangerous case has come before the U.S. Supreme Court that could have major implications for workplace discrimination lawsuits.
The case--Ames v. Ohio Dept. of Youth Services--involves a *straight woman* who claims she was passed over for a promotion and later demoted because of her sexual orientation.
The justices seem to be leaning in her favor, questioning whether the legal standard for proving discrimination should be different for majority and minority groups.
This case is unfolding as major corporations and government agencies face growing legal challenges to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives--many sparked by last year's Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action.
So what does this mean for workplace protections, and could this ruling shift how discrimination is handled in the courts--
Elie Mystal, Justice Correspondent for The Nation spoke with #RMU guest host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga about the dangerous nature of this reverse discrimination case.
