Previously, a black employee went through mandatory arbitration with Tesla, and the arbiter found it was ok for white employees to call black employees the n-word because it's used in rap music. Some may feel the $137M award to be a lot, but Tesla has been getting away with inaction for years. Maybe that will actually make them perk up and do something. > an arbitrator hired by Tesla to resolve the case in a series of closed-door hearings agreed the slurs weren't racist. Rather, they were "consistent with lyrics and images commonly found in rap songs and freestyle rap competitions," retired Marin County Judge Lynn Duryee wrote in a decision reviewed by Protocol. In a footnote, Duryee cited lyrics on genius.com for a song by Insanity, a little-known Canadian rapper. https://www.protocol.com/tesla-racism-claims-arbitration https://www.protocol.com/tesla-racism-claims-arbitration
