Ummm...I thought we just solved racism...

From the Philadelphia Inquirer

Two black employees at the city's trash transfer center in Roxborough have sued the city for discrimination, claiming their supervisor assigned blacks a separate bathroom and reserved a water cooler for white workers only.

...

In an interview, Young said whites and blacks at the center were not allowed to use the same bathroom. In one case, he said, a black worker had to walk down five flights of stairs because he was prohibited from using a whites-only bathroom.

...

During a heat wave in the summer of 2007, Young said, Gill took away the water cooler from black workers in the scale building "because he said we were using it too fast."



I'd like to say something witty, but I really don't even understand. They've filed a civil suit, but isn't there also some way that this guy could go to jail?
