Eric, nothing in your post reflects any kind of illegal
discrimination. I'm not saying you're wrong but if you're
right you have not given enough information to judge. Do you
have reason to believe that if you were not a caucasion you
would not have been fired, or that a person of another color
has not been fired for the same offense? That's what you're
going to need. Is there something like that you can add so we
can help you a bit better?
