Amy Coney Barrett ruled using the n-word does not make a work environment hostile

BECAUSE OF COURSE SHE DID...

The Associated Press published a report on Ms Barrett's most notable judicial opinions, which included a 2019 workplace discrimination case in which she penned the opinion that the use of the n-word in the workplace had not "created a hostile or abusive working environment."

Ms Barrett wrote on behalf of a unanimous three-judge panel that issued the ruling.

In the ruling, Ms Barrett said that while she found the use of the word abhorrent, the plaintiff in the case had not made a strong enough case that harassment was occurring.

The most disturbing thing here is that there is zero acknowledgement that weaponizing that particular pejorative against people of colour is in and off itself one of the most hostile acts that a white person can commit. White religious privilege summed up in this judgement. And that she does not recognise the impact of racist language and that the use of it is always an attack, and the impact of it will always be hostile is horrifying. I think she knows. I think she does not care. Just like the rest of them.

1. I guess she'd let her own two adopted children

from Haiti deal with the assault on their own, tell them they shouldn't feel bad, etc. How unfeeling.

2. I wonder if she, herself were subjected to gender derogatory language

In her work place by supervisory personal would she feel the same?

3. She would take it because she is down with the patriarchy

She enables them

5. She's perfectly okay with people treating her like shit.

As long as she knows someone else is getting it worse than she does.

I used the term as an example.

7. From Today's Hearing

From what I heard black people have their rights, birth control, at least, I'm assuming, the ones she believes are okay are safe, but gay people, voting rights, climate change, extralegal Presidential Power is still on the table
