A white employee passed over for a promotion in favor of a minority. A Hispanic employee terminated so the employer could replace him with a more favored minority. A Black man denied multiple promotions because the employer wanted to fill the positions with females. A woman denied a promotion so that the employer could promote a more favored minority. All more qualified, all not the right skin color or sex. Our reverse discrimination lawyers have seen it all. Most people think “reverse discrimination” only pertains to discrimination against white employees, or discrimination against white males. However, often under the guise of diversity and inclusion, employers may choose their preferred minority, and everyone else becomes the victims of discrimination, whether it is discrimination against white employees or discrimination against other minorities that the employer favors less.

While we fully support lawful efforts of diversity and inclusion, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and various other statutes make it unlawful to discriminate in employment decisions based on race, sex, national origin, etc. In fact, when a company uses diversity and inclusion as carte blanche to make employment decisions based on race and sex, they are injecting the exact discriminatory animus prohibited by Title VII and it is illegal.  

Our reverse discrimination lawyers are sworn to uphold these laws. We do not shy away from this oath or from bringing reverse discrimination claims as so many other lawyers do. In fact, Fett Law attorney James Fett is a nationally renowned reverse discrimination lawyer who has won several high-profile reverse discrimination cases for white employees and minorities alike, including a $10.5 million reverse discrimination class action against Ford Motor Company. These victories and his advocacy for the equal application of the law have made him a national authority on reverse discrimination and he is often sought out by the media to be interviewed on the topic, including by “The Problem with Jon Stuart” (declined) and The Epoch Times.
