In reply to the discussion: Black Nurse Sues Hospital for Not Letting Her Take Care of White Baby [View all]Motown_Johnny
(22,308 posts)First of all, any hospital in or near Flint is going to have African American nurses and doctors and orderlies and a whole host of other employees. Unless he was going to go to Montana to have his child then he had very little choice concerning exposing his child to persons of color.
More importantly, you can't discriminate against people based on their race (among other things). If this bigot was allowed to decide against a person of color being able to do his/her job then other bigots could do the same. This would make it more likely that white people get hired for jobs where you would run into these racists asking that only white people come in contact with themselves or their family members.
What he asked for was illegal. The nurse was the victim of that crime.
