[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:50 Are we following the same story?

1. Paula Deen's brother is accused of creating a hostile workplace. Yet the woman who sued filed no complaints with the EEOC. She decides to sue ... for $1.2 million. Further, she's white, so she really doesn't have standing on claims of racism. That aspect of the lawsuit may not stand.

2. It has been widely reported that the plaintiff worked for Paula's brother, not Paula, at his restaurant, not hers, and it has been widely speculated that the plaintiff included Paula and her restaurant in the lawsuit for their deep pockets and also because they're famous, which could add pressure them into settling.

3. I beg to differ. I'd love to hear her explain her motives, and why she didn't leave her job if things were as bad as she claims -- five years is a long time to put up with what she claims was happening -- and/or why she didn't take other measures to try and correct the workplace environment.

4. You missed my point. I am not describing my tastes or preferences. I was making the point that such sensibilities are not exclusive to Paula Deen -- and further they are not illegal. When I went to the Homestead in the early 1990s, to cover a business conference, I was stunned by the plantation sensibilities. 
FYI: Not all plantations were owned by slaveowners. So your equal signs are inaccurate.
