The United States Supreme Court has issued a ruling that will make it easier for people to claim workplace “reverse” discrimination based on identities such as being white or heterosexual, in a victory for conservatives who have long pushed back against laws that protect minorities.
The nation’s highest court ruled unanimously on Thursday in favour of an Ohio woman named Marlean Ames, who said she was passed over for a promotion at work because she is straight.
The decision reverses a previous ruling by a lower court stating that plaintiffs from some majority groups must show “background circumstances” to demonstrate that their employer is “that unusual employer who discriminates against the majority”, rather than minority groups that have historically faced discrimination in the US.
