Amazing that in 2021 we only enforce the racial discrimination laws in one direction. That's also what they did in 1921.

There is no data to support that, a racial discrimination law should be levied here, because now the action just occurred.

edit: so 20 year old data is being masqueraded as modern civil rights realities. never seen that before in any other topic.

No data? There are supreme court decisions on this:

In 2003 a racial discrimination law favored one group, your premise was about 2021. In the last 18 years (oh wow people born then can vote now!) race-based discrimination statutes are routinely enforced for all groups, including in favor of the majority group when they have been discriminated against by race by a potential or current employer.

Take a quick browse at the EOCC enforcement actions, or California's DFEH, and other agencies and other court cases.

the laws are not pre-emptive.

Should be, but we know it won't.

That's why they should have said culture fit

Culture fit is code for specific gender/race/socioeconomic level. When a job tells you that you’re not a good culture fit for the company, it means they just don’t like you enough to want to hire you, even though your qualifications could be exceeding what they need.

And age

yes, that's the joke. it also wouldn't make the local news.

It seems to me a lot of companies are violating that policy, notably in tech in CA. How hasn't there been a major lawsuit? This has been going on for years and is getting progressively worse.

The laws I mentioned (14th amendment and California Prop 209) only apply to the Federal government and California.

There are other laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and those may be applied to tech companies in some situations. That law was recently used to sue Harvard for discriminating against Asians in their admissions process.
