I've been discriminated against at work. Help?

Postby DoctorHandles » Mon Nov 20, 2006 11:00 pm

I recently got a job on campus because I've just been playing cards for money for the past two years and felt it was time I got some work experience under my belt. I got a job working at Wetzel's Pretzel's about two weeks ago.

I am the only worker who is not an asian girl, and whenever absolutely ANYTHING heavy needs to be lifted (we have to move some 5 gallon containers of syrup) they ask me to do it. They just ASSUME since I'm a male I'm stronger than they are, and expect me to do the lifting. They also ASSUME since I'm a foot taller than them, I should be able to get anything down from a high shelf. Those sexist bitches, it's like I'm not even a person but their own personal crane.

Every day I leave work to go to class I expect to see fellow Bruins rallying for my cause, trying to put these atrocities to rest, but I always remain dissapointed. They're too busy with their "Got black students" campaign or protesting "Tazoring isTerrorism!" or whatever the newest club is, so I must ask the BTP community for advice.

Basically, here are my questions:

How much should I sue for?
Should I sue Wetzel's, UCLA, or the state of California?
Should I sue on grounds of racism, sexism, or both?
Is it ok to move up in stakes without earning 40 full stacks at the previous level if my bankroll now permits it after the lawsuit?
The better player should win the race. Always.

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

Why are people protesting tazering???? Would they rather get shot??? Thats why the damn things were invented, to keep people alive (most of the time).

I think it seems to be used (along with pepper spray) more as a replacement for a good smacking with batons than as a replacement for shooting someone.

If a perp pulls a gun on you you aren't going to piss around with a taser - now once in a while there might be a situation where the cop can't get close and a taser will save some looney with a knife's life but mostly it seems to be used as a safe takedown - see the UCLA video - I'm certain the cops would not have shot the kid but just piled in to subdue him if the taser hadn't been on hand.

I couldn't tell from that vid if the cops did much wrong to be frank - we didn't see the lead up or what was going on really.
