A Black man has filed an employment discrimination lawsuit against a hotel in Detroit, Michigan, alleging the hotel only offered him a job interview after he changed the name on his resume, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by CNN.

Dwight Jackson filed the lawsuit against the Shinola Hotel on July 3, alleging he was denied a job when he applied as “Dwight Jackson,” but later offered an interview when he changed his name to “John Jebrowski.”

The lawsuit alleges Jackson was denied a job in “violation of Michigan Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act.”

    The good thing about racists is that they’re fucking stupid. Just interview the person and say nothing instead of making up an obvious lie.

      But what if the interview goes well… Then what? We can’t just hire them. Then we’ll be forced to maybe face… Something. Not sure exactly what…

      You don’t get it, they consider this a humiliation inflicted by them on someone they want, well, humiliated. Eh, and sometimes it is true.
