A white man was awarded $ 10 million compensation for his race and gender

In the US, the Novant Health employee was fired in 2018 to get receipt from an employer compensation at $ 10 million. Former vice president of marketing and communications David Duval won in court, proving that he was dismissed because of his sex and races that did not meet the “politics of a variety” of the company. About the details of the case tells Business Insider.

Since 2013, Duval worked at Novant Health Vice President Marketing and Communications, but was suddenly dismissed without explaining the reasons on July 30, 2018. After that, the employer hired a dark-skinned woman in his place. Duval considered that his displacement from office occurred due to the desire of the company to increase the level of sexual and racial diversity in the company’s management, and filed a lawsuit.

North Carolina Court, having considered the case of the former vice president, came to the conclusion that the white man really became a victim of the desire of Novant Health to inclusion. “Race and Paul Duval became a decisive factor in his dismissal,” the jury in their verdict, and the court ruled on decent compensation.

The company does not agree with the court decision. Its representatives believe that Duval was fired due to its inefficiency in the workplace, without discrimination against sexual or racial attribute, and they are going to file an appeal.

In August, the media reported that in the US state of Kentucky, White teachers of the local university were forced to recognize their “inferiority” on mandatory “anti-racistic” seminars.
