> As you all know, we are committed to becoming an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression company. Layoffs like this can have a more pronounced impact on marginalized communities, so we were particularly focused on ensuring our layoffs – while a business necessity today – were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens. Just wanted to add some additional context from the PDF you linked. The civil rights act of 1964 should make racially-based decisions in workforce hiring/firing illegal, but here we are, nearly 60 years later.

Most state civil rights laws that list protected classes, specifically only minorities are protected - not white people. That's how it is in NY state.

    New York state not New York City. Big difference.

      Nope, same thing for NY State: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/eepc/laws/state-laws.page https://www1.nyc.gov/site/eepc/laws/state-laws.page The parent post is just plain wrong. Race and color are protected classes, for every race and every color, not just for specific ones.

I still don't see any state law text. > The parent post is just plain wrong. Race and color are protected classes, for every race and every color, not just for specific ones. Didn't comment on that. Just that New York City was being used as proof of New York state.
