Woman Sues CVS over Racial Slur

If the suit has no merit, CVS can actually get court fees back from the plaintiff. The national attention hasn't done them any damage so far.

A) Do you have numbers showing no damage so far?
B) Maybe as the case gets more attention, there would be more damage
C) You never know what can happen in court
 
For being such a smart guy you sure do need some pretty basic stuff explained to you in fine detail before you catch on.

For being such a smart guy, you sure seem to miss the obvious sometimes. Did you really think I wasn't aware that white people think suing for racism is some sort of lottery with jackpots at the end? You don't really think it's that simple, do you?
 
Interesting. I would have said that if this was a one-time incident, and CVS has no other history of this happening, they shouldn't need to pay anything.



I agree that genuine cultural change would be better than money, but the legal system can only force the money change in this case.

They should pay something because that is just how things work. IMO, something that would make up for it would something along the lines of 10K, or something like that. A relatively small monetary value that shows they are sorry.
 
A conclussion that you reached by knowing nothing about Cy or this woman.

The comment, and it's implications, stands on it's own, regardless of Cyrone Torbin's intents, feelings, or wishes. Intent is not magic, it doesn't change the meaning of words. Again, you haven't even tried to pretend the comment itself is defensible.

Since you have a very well documented, by your own hand no less, history of routinely assigning racism and sexism to white males by virtue of them simply being white males ...

I really wish you could understand what I actually am saying about these things. I have never, not once, said that those white males were more racist or more sexist than a non-white or a female. I have specifically said otherwise, in fact. I have also said that the difference was how much they benefited from racism and sexism, not that they possessed it.
 
I am sure that some would. But I can see motive in avoiding a damaging PR issue. We will see what they decide to do in the coming days.

Of course you can. I would not be surprised if, regardless of facts, you attrributed any settlement to b e for the purposes of PR.
 
Could you imagine if you were a homosexual black Asian born in Mexico and came here illegally? You'd have it made here! Handouts deluxe! I could get any job just by applying or be anything by threatening to sue!
 
Of course you can. I would not be surprised if, regardless of facts, you attrributed any settlement to b e for the purposes of PR.

From the companies perspective I would assume it is PR oriented. From the woman's perspective I assume it would be considered justice.
 
A) Do you have numbers showing no damage so far?

Only anecdotal, but which person in this thread has condemned CVS?

B) Maybe as the case gets more attention, there would be more damage

Maybe as the case gets more attention, CVS gets more publicity and gets to sing their anti-discrimination policies even more.

C) You never know what can happen in court

True, but CVS has deep pockets. They'll have a decent idea what can happen.
