The U.S. Labor Department has sued Oracle America Inc, alleging that the technology company systematically paid its white, male employees more than other workers and unlawfully favored Asian applicants in its recruiting and hiring efforts.

The department in a complaint filed with an administrative judge in Washington said the company was prohibited from engaging in racial discrimination given the hundreds of millions of dollars it receives as a contractor with the federal government.

    Why is it okay to discriminate to only hire minorities but not to not hire them?
     
    It's not. That's why they are being sued for: unlawfully favored Asian applicants in its recruiting and hiring efforts.
     
    Did you even read the summary before firing off that tired talking point?
