Actually it does they just can't say it ;-)
Don't like someone's race -- nod-nod-wink-wink => "restructuring"
Don't like their sexual orientation -- nod-nod-wink-wink =>
"tough economic times"
Don't like the color of their shoes -- nod-nod-wink-wink => "pivoting"
And so on. It can just never be in writing or said explicitly. As long as there is a non-verbal or codified protocol between the owners (managers).
To prove anything is an uphill battle -- have to really establish a pattern, as in "20 people were laid off, last year, 25 were hired, all those laid off were of this race". Stuff like that.
