ACLU Fires Asian Lawyer For Using "Racially Harmful" Language to Complain About Black Boss. She Didn't Say Anything Racist; the ACLU Contends That Simply Criticizing a Black Boss Is Inherently "Harmful" Because It Caused "Hurt Feelings" Among Other Blacks

You are now claiming it's racist to disagree with a black person or to dislike their management style.

No backtracking; you said what you said. "Racism" now means simply "failure to sufficiently praise a privileged minority."

The ACLU has fired an Asian employee, Kate Oh, for what it describes as creating "racial harm" through her critiques of Black supervisors, inciting a complex legal and ethical debate over workplace dynamics and free speech.
Key Details:
The ACLU claims that Kate Oh, a Korean American lawyer, used language in complaints that perpetuated racist stereotypes against her Black supervisors.
Oh's interactions, including describing a discussion as "chastising" and expressing fear of a Black male superior, were used as examples of alleged anti-Black animus.

She complained about him "chastising" -- criticizing -- an Asian woman. That's not racist. When she complained of the criticism, that was racist. Because he's higher on the Oppression Pyramid of Privilege.

The case has escalated to an unfair-labor-practice trial, with the National Labor Relations Board accusing the ACLU of retaliating against Oh for her complaints about workplace conditions.

Kate Oh, a former lawyer at the ACLU, finds herself at the center of a contentious legal battle after being terminated for allegedly using racially coded language in complaints against her Black supervisors. The ACLU argues that Oh's expressions, such as stating she was "afraid" to speak with a Black superior and calling another meeting "chastising," contributed to a pattern of "willful anti-Black animus." These claims have raised substantial questions about the boundaries of acceptable speech in the workplace, especially within an organization renowned for defending free speech.
The complexity of the case is underscored by the ACLU's own defense strategies, which hinge on a broad interpretation of what constitutes racially harmful speech. This stance seems at odds with the ACLU's historical advocacy for expansive free speech rights, sparking criticisms of hypocrisy and overreach.

54 "She is an attorney with two decades of experience in legislative and political affairs, including roles with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, Media Matters for America, and GameChanger Labs."

So, as per last thread, she likely had the same problems but was fired in lieu of walking away.

Willowed: Was editor Uri Berliner attached to NPR's D.C. Office?
If so, odds are she was placed into the CEO position to get him out. The 5 day suspension was an embarrassing public slap. Then the ball was in his court & he quit.

Notice is not required by either party based on the fact that DC is an "employment at will" state, meaning that an employer or employee may terminate the relationship at any time, without a reason, without cause.

There are only a very few exceptions, maybe such as if he was under contract and/or NPR failed to follow its own employment guidelines.

I suspect this is like the Iran-Iraq war, where the best outcome is that it be excruciatingly painful for both parties.

Ehh, not really. It turns out that commercial aviation isn't particularly profitable. If the airlines aren't defended with special rules (e.g., prior to deregulation) or protected with subsidies if not state-owned (national airlines), competition turns into a race to the bottom on service and goodies. The market has dictated that this is acceptable, because the tickets keep selling.

So adding an extra row or two to the cabin - even if it means no more reclining seats - is well worth it. The money has to be made up somewhere and competition is fierce. If you can't increase the cost of the ticket without being crowded out by the airline that didn't, you find a way to sell more tickets (or provide fewer services, like drinks and complimentary baggage).

Personal space on a plane is a zero sum game. When somebody reclines to increase their space, they take away the space of the person sitting behind them.
Posted by: J. Frank Parnell at April 17, 2024 02:52 PM (IGKzA)

Which can be corrected by the person behind reclining. While the 2 inches they actually recline doesn't provide much in the way of comfort, it's better than sitting at a 90 degree angle.

Posted by: Joe Mannix

I am tall too. When the seat in front of me is NOT reclined, my knees touch it. So, if they recline, they are putting their weight onto them. I had one flight where a euro trash complained to the stewardess that when he kept slamming his seat back into me, he could feel my knees in his back.

I informed him and the stewardess that if he did it again, I would break his nose at a minimum. They moved him to the back of the plane.

Ah, got it. Yeah. It's the race to the bottom. They've already cut most of what they can out of other services, so time to cram in more seats.

Some sociopath in Europe invented a vertical airplane "seat" that's basically a bicycle saddle mounted to a floor-to-ceiling pole. Increases passenger density by some ridiculous amount.

Even Ryanair looked at that and said, "no, not even we can get away with this." But give it 5-10 years and something like it will be available if not commonplace for short-haul flights of under 3 hours.

Wait, I take that back: there was one female boss I had when I was a teenage waiter and bartender way back in the day. She was kinda dumb but hot and apparently liked teenage boys. She sexually harassed the shit out of me. I let her. I was 17. She was hot. It was worth it.

290 Quick and dirty HR:

All states, except Montana, are At Will. This is not the same as right to work, which means you have a choice as to whether you join a union or not, and this has other complexities I won’t go into.

If you belong to a union, you are a contract employee. The right to work status means jack taco to you. While most companies, except really dumb ones, will retain the right to hire and fire, you still need to meet just cause standards in order to discipline, to include termination.

Note in an at will employment situation, you can fire for any reason, but you cannot fire for the wrong reasons, discrimination being one of those wrong reasons.

In presenting Berliner's suspension Thursday afternoon, the organization told the editor he had failed to secure its approval for outside work for other news outlets, as is required of NPR journalists. It called the letter a "final warning," saying Berliner would be fired if he violated NPR's policy again. Berliner is a dues-paying member of NPR's newsroom union but says he is not appealing the punishment.

Believe this was also included previously: "There are only a very few exceptions, maybe such as if he was under contract and/or NPR failed to follow its own employment guidelines."

It has been said, identity politics has almost nothing to do with the superficial differences between people, but are indeed a construct created by the powers that be, to keep people divided.

So... everyone who has lined up on one side or another of the divides that have been constructed for us, whether it be race or sex or religion or whatever else, at some point are you going to stop playing their game? Are you going to stop being a pawn on the chess board, moved by others who know what you're going to say and do, before you do?

The problem is when the SHTF and the shooting starts, nobody's going to be asking questions.

Certain things are just going to be the "enemy uniform". Danger Hair. Skin Color. Anything that visually points to "probably a leftist".

Simply Criticizing a Black Boss Is Inherently "Harmful" Because It Caused "Hurt Feelings" Among Other Blacks

Delicate sensitive feelings. But when it comes to the crap they inflict on others, they're about as sensitive as a goddam toilet seat.

I think Barack acted as a catalyst, made it policy. But the building blocks were there to be put together beforehand by someone who wanted to build this monstrosity. A big part, I think, is the ceaseless excusing and apologizing for the antisocial behavior of certain groups. Note, for example, how certain behavior by whites makes them trash, but no comparable group of black trash is acknowledged to exist. The mainstreaming of rap music and its gangster ethos was a watershed. It took a while to metastasize, but it was always cancer. Apologetic comparisons to rock music are like comparisons between the Bible and Koran on violence.

It's said that hundreds, if not thousands of them have disappeared off the face of the Earth.

336 Interesting bio on the ACLU web site:

"Kate Oh is a former Senior Policy Counsel in the ACLU’s National office where she focused on democracy reform issues. She is an attorney with two decades of experience in legislative and political affairs, including roles with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, Media Matters for America, and GameChanger Labs.

That has got to be completely and emotionally exhausting to have to watch every single word you might possibly say, not beyou said it, but because of how someone MIGHT misconstrue it.

I grew up in a mixed-race community. It was a small town, so there weren't separate black and white neighborhoods, but the churches (except for the Catholic Church) were pretty segregated.

And when there was a school dance, the announcement always specified that both "white music" and "black music" would be played.

I don’t know that I am playing, but maybe I am and need to think more on this topic. I am no snowflake, I am pretty tough. I don’t think it’s racist to call out clear cultural issues that should be talked about. I don’t struggle with seeing how ridiculous the oppression Olympics have gotten, it sadly has negated acts of true discrimination and that just sucks. I do have a problem with tactual racism and discrimination, no matter the direction. Luckily, I don’t think I am the rare bird who harbors these feelings, though there are people doing their damndest to make that not so.

The fundamental fallacy of the criterion "made to feel" a certain way, versus some objective requirement of observable behavior, is on display here.

The related fallacy of "unequal outcomes = prejudice" is lurking somewhere nearby as well.

356 Harassment becomes unlawful where
1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or
2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.

==
And remember, the defendant must prove their innocence, as opposed to be presumed innocent. A nice little twist in the 90's Civil Rights Act update. What the ACLU is forgetting is that since she was ostensibly complaining about a harassing workplace first, they have the burden of proof in showing her workplace was not harassing, and have proven it by firing her.

Yes there is a hierarchy. But there is also timing, and retaliation. ACLU is wrong on both. They will pay, haven't got a prayer of getting off on this one, unless the left is ready to wipe out 30 years of case law on the books.
