One black employee was repeatedly referred to as "my nigger" by a white supervisor

Something they have in common with the DNC.

ROFLMAO! Love it!

Since stuff like this is NEVER made up, I believe the complainants. Don't you?

When it's Reuters we're talking about, I would tend to believe the complainants, yes.

over allegations that a "white, public school attitude" tolerated

Just what the heck is that?

[Cold Heat]

LOL! It is hard to say.

It is just that I cannot stand Reuters. This complaint is so outrageous, it is likely true.

[Timesink]

Just for the record: The term "Public school" in Britain is what we in the US would call a PRIVATE school, particularly a snotty, elitist boarding school.

Thanks for posting this.

[Paul Atreides]

From what I have heard, only white kids are treated like dirt in public schools. At least the straight ones.

[SoftballMominVA]

I must be missing something obvious, why hate Reuters?

[Paul Atreides]

Take it from me, it was a pleasure!

[dep]

this is one of those cases that's like the iran-iraq war -- a pity that only one side will lose.

as miserable as reuter is, it's highly unlikely that any of this ever happened. and certainly the plaintiff bar is ecrement made worse.

See post 9. "Public school" is Britspeak for a highly elitist PRIVATE prep school, like the sorts of places the royals send their sons off to at a very young age.

[Cold Heat]

Their news equates to the NYT in the bias category.

[Paul Atreides]

Reuters is one of the most consistently anti-American entities on the face of the Earth. They are liars and socialists. They refused to label the men who flew the jets into the WTC terrorists. They are scum.

Gocha. We drive on the right, they drive on the left. Check.
