Screw the Hierarchy

7 ways the legal system upholds discrimination

Episode Summary

The legal system re-inscribes the very hierarchies discrimination law was designed to attack, according to the mind-blowing book Rights on Trial. No social change. Not much correcting discriminatory behavior at work. Simply more bias through the stereotyping that created the discrimination in the first place. In this episode, I talk about seven ways the legal system re-discriminates, leaving not much changed since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
