If I recall correctly from looking over the previous lawsuit most, or all, of the people who used these racial slurs were themselves racial minorities. Just my intuition, but I'd guess that these racial slurs are more common among particular demographics. If that's true, and you can be harshly penalized for permitting the use of racial slurs, then it seems like the state would be creating a perverse incentive not to hire specific demographics out of fear those demographics would use language that would get the company sued.
"After receiving hundreds of complaints from workers, D.F.E.H. found evidence that Tesla’s Fremont factory is a racially segregated workplace where Black workers are subjected to racial slurs and discriminated against in job assignments, discipline, pay and promotion creating a hostile work environment,” Kevin Kish, the department’s director, said in a statement. “The facts of this case speak for themselves."
So, one black employee sues Tesla because coworkers use racial slurs against him. He wins 137 million dollars in the lawsuit. Then many other employees accuse the company of using racial slurs. Hmmm, why, Tesla must indeed be overrun with racists then.

- ALittleLight 5y agoPerhaps that's happening, and it would be bad if it were, but there's also a massive incentive for employees to claim it's happening whether or not it is.
