There are a ton of questions I have about this whole to-do, but it's a moot point at this juncture.
I think so. Discrimination claims are relatively rare, but interestingly enough, reverse discrimination claims (not lawsuits but claims) may be more common than minority group claims of discrimination. In the literature, one of the explanations for this is white privilege whereas minority groups are more accustomed to not being hired and promoted.
