Another case where a white person successfully claimed he was a victim of racial discrimination. So your premise is entirely false.
White Employee Wins Racial-Discrimination Lawsuit
"White supervisor fired for racial email has valid discrimination case over unequal discipline. A white supervisor received and then forwarded to others in the company a racial email titled ?Why There Are No Black NASCAR Drivers.? It contained a series of derogatory stereotypes of Blacks. The supervisor was fired for violating the company?s anti-harassment and improper-computer-use policies. He sued under Title VII, claiming that the discharge was racially discriminatory. The court agreed that he had a valid case because, in the same time frame, several Black employees had been using company email to circulate ?How to Dance Like a White Guy!? It contained a series of derogatory terms and stereotyped characterizations of white men. However, these employees only received short-term suspensions for violation of the harassment and computer policies. There was an appearance of racial disparity in the issuing of discipline for virtually the same infraction. Smith v. Lockheed-Martin Corp. (11th Cir., 2011)."
