Interesting story!
Yeah if you are a member of a protected class and are denied something for any reason, it almost seems worthwhile to sue if you are able
My Uncle is a residential home appraiser (has been for like 20+ years), and he’s a democrat because his daughter is a far-left democrat, and my uncle was more moderate until she converted him. Regardless, he did an appraisal for a particular home value for a black family that was accurate but like $200,000 less than what they were wanting
So they submitted a formal complaint to whoever oversees these appraisers saying that he under-appraised the home value because they were black. Now his job is on the line and he is getting a lot of grief from the company he works for because they just want stuff like this to go away as quietly as possible. The black family has zero proof or evidence that the home was appraised for far below its value, in fact the appraised value matched other homes in the area
None of that shit seems to matter. Also, there’s nothing my Uncle can do assuming he wins his case. Apparently to counter-sue for slander there would need to be demonstrable proof that the claim being made was false. So if they claimed that my Uncle gave them an unfair appraisal because he is not an actual appraiser, he could prove that claim as false by verifying his certification. But there is no easy way to prove that a claim of racism is false, to essentially prove that one is not a racist
So he either he loses his entire livelihood and this family gets awarded more than an extra $200,000 (plus any settlement) for being black, or else nothing happens. So basically if you are a protected class and are denied something, there is almost no reason to not submit a complaint of discrimination. Only good outcomes can come of it
