More female and less white’: Missouri AG accuses Starbucks of violating anti-discrimination laws

[edjr 6,578]

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KTVI) – Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) has filed a lawsuit against Starbucks, claiming the international coffee chain has violated federal and state anti-discrimination laws.

In a lawsuit formally filed Tuesday, Bailey claims the company engaged in race-and-sex-based hiring practices, unlawfully segregated employees and offered certain training and employment benefits exclusively to select groups.

He further alleges that initiatives designed to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ultimately amount to unlawful discrimination.

More crap from the right. DEI (which I disapprove of) is not and has never been discrimination against white people.

I tend to agree with you.  Here is the rub.  Almost every legal maneuver of late seems like trite nonsense, to include (and perhaps especially) those lobbed at Trump.

Your position on the validity of legal action seems to ebb ad flow based on the political currency. But, since it arises that, if only temporarily due to your political bias, we find ourselves in cadence on the topic.....I like to show where we share agreement.

I don’t think my position on legal actions ebb and flow at all. I challenge you to back up this claim. I believe I’ve been very consistent on this.

If you maintain that the legal actions against Trump were legitimate, and yet challenge this one, yeah, your position is rather maleable.

That is my position yes. I don’t think it’s contradictory at all.

I get that, I accept that you do not see the disparity, that is why I am not applying intent.....just noting how your perception of legal matters tends to depend on the politics in play Not a cognitive act so much as a muscle memory response.

Whether we agree on a given point will likely rely on th situation meeting your political stances. In this case, the politics have your position in concert with my own.

Lol It has nothing to do with politics and it is not muscle memory. I think Trump was guilty of the crimes he was indicted for, not because I disagree with his politics but because I think he committed the crimes.

I see it differently.  But no matter, here we are, agreeing.   Later, should there be some other legal nonsense thrown at Trump, we likely disagree....and have to await some other legal action that is also wrong, but hits the right marks for you politically.  Having common ground of any kind is a pretty cool thing in our society today.

Haha. I love seeing this. No need to use any actual evidence. Just the demographic makeup. This is the only language these idiots understand. "Disproportionately affects"

"There are too many women and non-white people working here!" is an odd thing to have a hissy fit over.

I guess they need to distract folks from the price of eggs and groceries that Trump promised to lower when he took office.

You're know you're an idiot when you have to break out the egg comment as a gotcha.

You're insane. DEI is de-facto racism, cut and dried.  Not even debatable.

I love it when you write “not even debatable” (which you do all the time.) I always know it means that it’s HIGHLY debatable. Lol

Actually, it means it's not debatable. The VAST majority of scientists do not believe in the trans pseudo-science.  Any scientist who does is not, in fact, an actual scientist then.

You're a flat earther.  And THAT is not debatable either.

Wrong thread (though I’ve noticed a tendency to discuss trans issues in every thread- it’s the #1 obsession around here.)

I'm balancing about 5 threads here.  Honest mistake.

If you don't want focus on the tranny issue then stop believing in pseudo-science and trying to force everyone else to believe in it.

I’m not trying to force anyone to believe in anything. You want to believe that trans is a disease, have at it. I know what 99% of the respected scientists say; you want to ignore them up to you. 
 

I AM trying to get you and others to leave these people alone. Let them have dignity and respect. Don’t discriminate against them, allow them to join the military and have the same rights as anyone else. What Trump is doing is wrong.

We'd leave these people alone if they left us alone.  See how that works? WE'RE not the ones pushing this pseudo-science onto the masses or onto children like you guys are.

You can't expect people to sit back and do nothing when you push quack science on us and then get all hysterical when we push back.  Your attempts at gaslighting will not work.

you might do better than coming out with 99% of scientists.  do you just come up with crap like that & expect people to believe?

trolling is my guess.
