You have to go through 8 years of court sitting stress for those $3 million. From that perspective it is a sensible sum.

And the way I see it, somebody has to fight injustice. Otherwise laws are meaningless. This guy did it, and that is his reward. We all benefit.

I would like to see you take on a lawsuit against a multi billion dollar corporation. Do you think it would be a piece of cake?

>In October 2021, a jury awarded him $137 million in damages in the case, but a federal judge threw out that award as excessive. US District Judge William Orrick offered Diaz $15 million in damages in the case instead, but Diaz rejected the offer, choosing instead to have a new trial.

If you've reviewed the facts in this case, and that's what you took from it, then I seriously question your reading comprehension ability.

You can't even type the word and yet you think it's fine for somebody to be called that at a workplace?

> The case was brought by Owen Diaz, who worked as an elevator operator at the plant. He reported he regularly heard racial slurs, including the N-word, on the Fremont factory floor, and saw racist graffiti in bathrooms and a racially insensitive cartoon.

Why misrepresent something when the truth is only a click away?

But besides that, everyone here knows that you know that the value isn't about damages suffered per se, it's about sending a message to racist people like you.

Do you think racism in the work place is ok? How about sexism? Why not homophobia as well? Does smacking the butt of your female coworker really deserve compensation? Where do you draw the line or do you think it should all be ok in the workplace?
