Employment, Burden of Proof, Majority Group, Same Burden As Minorities, 5, 6
Members of a majority group need not meet any different standard or burden of proof than a member of a minority group in bringing a Title VII action for employment discrimination. The decision specifically disapproves the 6th Circuit’s requirement that majority group members present pleading and proof of background circumstances to support the suspicion that the defendant is that unusual employer who discriminates against the majority.
