A Black man has filed an employment discrimination lawsuit against a hotel in Detroit, Michigan, alleging the hotel only offered him a job interview after he changed the name on his resume, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by CNN.

Dwight Jackson filed the lawsuit against the Shinola Hotel on July 3, alleging he was denied a job when he applied as “Dwight Jackson,” but later offered an interview when he changed his name to “John Jebrowski.”

The lawsuit alleges Jackson was denied a job in “violation of Michigan Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act.”

    I hope this is not a thing either. Issue is the proof, bigots aint putting this shit in emails unless they are trump voters.

    But from statistical angle it is getting hard to justify the bullshit system wide but every wrong is settled out if it is that bad.

    Nobody is ever at fault tho
