Ricci V Destefano

In the Case I studied for my paper, Ricci V Destefano, a case where White firefighters were not promoted because their black counterparts were unable to pass the preliminary multiple choice test required for the promotions. As the lead plaintiff, Frank Ricci believed that he had been discriminated against and his civil rights been violated because of his race. We have been talking so much about racism towards African Americans, and I am not at all saying that racial discrimination against whites is nearly as relevant as African American racism, but the supreme court's decision that it was in fact a violation of civil rights to deny the men their promotions because of their race proves that systemic racism can exist towards anyone.
