Do you think racism in the work place is ok? How about sexism? Why not homophobia as well? Does smacking the butt of your female coworker really deserve compens

Do you think racism in the work place is ok? How about sexism? Why not homophobia as well? Does smacking the butt of your female coworker really deserve compensation? Where do you draw the line or do you think it should all be ok in the workplace?

      Frankly, you cannot see past the tip of your nose. Don't comment on how the law is applied. If nobody sued against discrimination, then discrimination laws would be useless. So fighting discrimination is a public good that we all benefit from. Fighting a lawsuit is hard, especially doing it for almost a whole decade, and against a multi billion dollar corporation. Should the guy get $10,000 for it? He's not getting paid $3 million, because somebody shouted a slur at him once.

        Lol if you made any of these arguments to a lawyer they'd laugh at you. That's not how damages are supposed to work, not at all.

        Tesla's earnings have absolutely nothing to do with how much this guy deserves to get.

        You were right, I did it.

  Protected classes exist. Libel and slander laws exist. Hate crime law exist. In every single one of those, someone is being "mean" to the other party. Many of those laws are written in blood, since being "mean" to someone based on traits they're born with and suffering no consequences leads to people being even more "mean".

If something is not OK, can there not be a penalty for it which is also not OK?

  What do you think the acceptable penalty for racial discrimination in the workplace should be?
