After a six-day trial in US District Court in Boston, jurors on Friday found that American Airlines discriminated against Cerqueira because of race or national origin, and ordered it to pay him $130,000 in compensatory damages and $270,000 in punitive damages.

I wish I could hit the jackpot like this guy. I think it's wrong and out of line with the "crime", but if them's the rules it would be great to pony up to the trough. Of course it couldn't happen for me since I'm of the race that no discrimination can't be taken against.

You being of a race that can not claim discrimination, is in itself discrimination of the worst sort.
