Response to this claim
DuRousseau's complaint alleges that PragerU discriminated against him because of his race and sexual orientation, subjected him to a hostile work environment, retaliated against him and wrongfully terminated him.
“DuRousseau spent years telling Black audiences that systemic racism was over, and he figured out he was wrong only when it happened to him.”
Why we used this label
The case's reference point is the discrimination, hostile treatment, retaliation and wrongful termination that DuRousseau's complaint alleges against PragerU. Greene describes the alleged failure of PragerU managers to stop racist and anti-gay abuse as institutional racism and writes that it happened to DuRousseau, which treats the alleged conduct as wrongful. Most of the essay criticizes DuRousseau's past views, but its evaluation of the conduct under scrutiny is critical rather than a dispute over how it is described.
