So they're accused of both (1) paying white males more than others and (2) favoring Asian applicants over others.<p>The two claims are not conflicting, but if this is going to a jury it would be a tough needle for the DoL to thread. The knee-jerk reaction (which is sometimes determinative in jury trials) is that Oracle couldn't be favoring both groups.<p>The DoL would want to show evidence that the first claim relates to non-technical positions (where there are fewer Asians) and that the second claim relates to technical positions (where there are more Asians).<p>Disclosures: I am a former lawyer and worked for Oracle a few years ago. While not typically relevant, I'd also disclose here that I am an Asian/white male, and I have no complaints about my pay at Oracle.
