During her five years as a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, she was an unsparing critic of her superiors, known for sending long, blistering emails to human resources complaining about what she described as a hostile workplace.
She considered herself a whistle blower and advocate for other women in the office, drawing unflattering attention to an environment she said was rife with sexism, burdened by unmanageable workloads and stymied by a fear-based culture.
Then the tables turned, and Ms. Oh was the one slapped with an accusation of serious misconduct. The A.C.L.U. said her complaints about several superiors — all of whom were Black — used “racist stereotypes.” She was fired in May 2022.
The A.C.L.U. acknowledges that Ms. Oh, who is Korean American, never used any kind of racial slur. But the group says that her use of certain phrases and words demonstrated a pattern of willful anti-Black animus.
In one instance, according to court documents, she told a Black superior that she was “afraid” to talk with him. In another, she told a manager that their conversation was “chastising.” And in a meeting, she repeated a satirical phrase likening her bosses’ behavior to suffering “beatings.”
Did her language add up to racism? Or was she just speaking harshly about bosses who happened to be Black? That question is the subject of an unusual unfair-labor-practice case brought against the A.C.L.U. by the National Labor Relations Board, which has accused the organization of retaliating against Ms. Oh.

This Asian lady did nothing wrong – the only reason this is being discussed is because her boss is hypersensitive to any perceived insult due tot he victim mentality he's been force-fed since his youth.

Sounds about right. Remember when the ACLU used to stand for actual civil liberties?
Neither do I. It's been decades.

A seemingly perfect example of the toxicity of the intersectionality hierarchy. All that matters in determining who is right or wrong is to look at where someone’s identity places them on the perceived intersectional victim pyramid.

Based on the progressive vote, white Americans can now tell Black Americans what constitutes racism. Should be interesting.
"44 House members voted against a resolution describing the chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as antisemitic.
The “no” votes came largely from progressive Democrats, as well as Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), a frequent opponent of measures supporting Israel and condemning antisemitism.
Find the list of representatives who see no problem with genocidal chants against Jews below."

1. He who is higher on the victim totem poll wins the fight.
2. He whom it most benefits liberals to have higher on the victim totem poll, is higher on the victim totem poll.
