The practice is clearly a violation if the people were employees. The lawsuit itself is just as clearly motivated from a nasty ideology. What is not clear is if the employement protected classes apply to venture capital funding choices. As I understand it such regulation does not exist in the USA except as proposed in some state bills which have not been made into law. Given that the lawsuit will almost certainly be dismissed.

- SpaceManNabs 3y agoNative americans have sovereign land within the United States. I think it is ok to make special cases to correct specific historical disparities for particular minorities, but our law system is not equipped for it, and there is too much disagreement and polarization to make minor concessions possible. And lawyers love to play with corner cases to the detriment of the rest of us.
