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.”
This is baffling. She could clearly see the other girls, yeah? All applying for the same position?
How do you dismiss one candidate in front of others, and say there are no openings? I don’t get it.
They just didn’t finish the sentence. ‘There are no openings for someone of your heritage.’
Well maybe she misread the room? 🤔
Arrives for the interview and there are 8 white girls, in scrubs, in the waiting room. Also, the person who was to take her in the back for the interview was visibly shocked.
My wife is a Filipino and I’m shocked at what she’s encountered in interviews.
“Are you Mexican or Asian?” Visible disgust at Asian.
“Are you a Christian? Oh. A Catholic. You have to attend our church every Sunday or we won’t hire you.”
Bonus points: Her first name is sorta black sounding. Told her to work around that somehow. Because I had to.

It might not be true.
Surely nobody would go on the internet and tell lies…
I heard the man from the church and his wife discussing with them in the driveway. Take that as you will.
