I personally think that just the way the employer is required to document the reasons for firing, the person going off on media must also provide proof that they were being treated unfairly.


Most people who get fired don't the option of going to media. The way "star" researchers and the way average employees get treated is going to be different whether we're talking white or non-white.


That's a good point. May be we need ways to have a common person without a huge media presence have a way to voice their concerns of racism.

Since media cannot cover thousands of individual cases, there should be legal avenues without deep pockets for lawyer fees to sue companies for racist behavior.

The court should look at this situation objectively and factually.
