Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white."
Reposted by Domestic Enemy Hat
For those who sneer at this:
It doesn't fucking /matter/ if lawsuits like this are meritless. It doesn't matter if it'll get dismissed.
What matters is that companies now know that they will have to spend money defending expensive lawsuits like this from state AGs.
Because they hire women & POC.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"
This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.
