Reverse Discrimination

I believe I work at a company that plays into favortism and discrimination based on race. I am a white female age 32, I have been passed up for 4 positions, all in which African Americans were hired with less quualifications according to their posted resumes and a tool that we use to sort qualifications. 2 managers that have a track record of hiring all blacks, and or hiring employees because of their former tour in Iraq, again with no hands on experience of what they would be doing here, one employee that lives with the 'big boss'' was chosen over me as well. No hiring processes, they post but hire someone who they favor even those less qualifiaction. My question is what are the discriminatory Laws in the state of GA and do I have enough solid facts to have a case. Oh by the way, one employee that got pregnant while in IRAQ was sent back here, a job was created for her instead of terminating her like they did two other former employees that got pregnant while under contract in IRAQ. What gives?? Let mek now if you can help.

discrimation on property tax laws

$35,000 income exemption limit for single and married persons for proprety taxes in the State of Washington. It should be double for married couples. This law is like the old federal law on your income taxes. A couple has to divorce and split their retirement income to qualify. I have written to our state politicians about this and never got an answer. Because we have worked hard all our lives we are penalized. I call this discrimination when it forces an old married couple to divorce because of finances.

sexual harrasment

My wife works at a privately funded school and she was being harrased by one of the employees. First she confronted the person and then for approximately a weeks time she was getting trashed left on her desk and other objects on her seat. She then contacted school officials who then threatened both of them and stated both would be fired for the conduct. Since then the male has quit but got his job back at the same place but administrators have demoted my wife and every chance something happens they begin to berate her in attempt to make her quit or fire her. I was wondering if this would be considered a eeo complaint and what would the school legal ramifications be if she placed the compl.

Using Statistics to prove national origin discrimination

A new outdoor shopping mall has just been built in my city. My city approx population of 207,000 and 40% around 82,000 are Armenian. The mall employees are not representative of the population of the city in fact the neighboring city has just as big of a population of Armenians as well but still all i see to put it bluntly are blond haired individuals. Is there somehow I can use statistics to prove that there is national origin discrimination going on? Given that I am qualified individual.
