Some background articles on the Diaz case, in which Tesla was ordered to pay $137 million for tolerating a hostile, racist environment (by the jury's determination). And no, this was not a matter of "racial slurs delivered by black people to other black people in a friendly manner" (per the sibling comment).<p><i>Jury orders Tesla to pay $137 million to former employee over racist treatment</i><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/04/business/tesla-racism-lawsuit.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/04/business/tesla-racism-law...</a><p><a href="https://archive.fo/2fbLc" rel="nofollow">https://archive.fo/2fbLc</a><p><i>Menial tasks, slurs and swastikas: many black workers at Tesla say they faced racism</i><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/30/business/tesla-factory-racism.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/30/business/tesla-factory-ra...</a><p><a href="https://archive.fo/KGXEK" rel="nofollow">https://archive.fo/KGXEK</a>
>Tesla's Fremont factory is a racially segregated workplace where Black workers are subjected to racial slurs....<p>This article doesn't say it, but the last time this came up, in small print, it was admitted that all reported instances of racial slurs were delivered by black people to other black people in a friendly manner.
I am amazed that these stories from Tesla keep coming out<p>This does not happen to other corporations, with such frequency and seriousness.<p>Is there some sort of reporting bias here? Or is Tesla really a reprobate?
I detect the voice of Elon in this: "Attacking a company like Tesla that has done so much good for California should not be the overriding aim of a state agency with prosecutorial authority," Tesla wrote.<p>"Message received" redux, perhaps?
