For the past four years, U.S. companies have been able to actively single people out, both to promote and to reject for employment, based solely on their race and sex.
And even if they call it "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion," it's still illegal in our nation. Now, those years of blatant disregard for the law are coming home to roost.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed suit against Starbucks for its DEI goals.
Missouri brings this lawsuit because Starbucks has violated federal and state laws prohibiting race discrimination. Starbucks ties compensation to racial and sex-based quotas, discriminates on the basis of race and sex in training and advancement opportunities, and discriminates on the basis of race and sex with respect to its board membership. All of this is unlawful.
Starbucks's stated DEI goals are as follows:
To have "[a]t least 40% BIPOC representation and 55% women in all retail roles by 2025 in the US."
To have "[a]t least 30% BIPOC representation and 50% women for all enterprise roles, including senior leadership, by 2025 in the US."
To have "[a]t least 40% BIPOC representation and 30% women in all manufacturing roles by 2025 in the US."
Bailey maintains that hiring quotas based on race and sex are illegal both in Missouri and in the United States.
Bailey also lays out the case that Starbucks's compensation was also tied to race and sex, with Caucasian men being purposefully shut out of equal promotions and pay raises across the board.
And Starbucks has celebrated all its achievements in racial and sexual discrimination to garner applause from the Left, so they've left a paper trail a mile wide.
It's hard to imagine a world where this goes well for the double-tailed mermaid from the West Coast.
Enjoy your coffee while you can, folks.
