Disparate Impact

Google settled a racial bias lawsuit for $50 million. Merrill Lynch paid $20 million. Maryland taxpayers will have to pay $3 million to make a racial discrimination suit go away. "This is ridiculous! Taxpayers should not be on the hook for this!" complains Heather Mac Donald, author of "When Race Trumps Merit." In our new video, she argues that companies and governments feel forced to pay because of a legal doctrine called "disparate impact."
