Frankly, you cannot see past the tip of your nose. Don't comment on how the law is applied.

If nobody sued against discrimination, then discrimination laws would be useless. So fighting discrimination is a public good that we all benefit from. Fighting a lawsuit is hard, especially doing it for almost a whole decade, and against a multi billion dollar corporation.

Should the guy get $10,000 for it? He's not getting paid $3 million, because somebody shouted a slur at him once.

Lol if you made any of these arguments to a lawyer they'd laugh at you. That's not how damages are supposed to work, not at all.
