Rebel Without a Cause of Action: “A man who was fired for refusing to stop displaying Confederate flags in his workplace has lost his bid to revive an employment discrimination suit that said he was discriminated against on the basis of his religion and his national origin as a “Confederate Southern-American.””

“[One judge] found that the lower court was correct to dismiss the suit “because ‘Confederate Southern-American’ is not a legitimate national origin classification” under Title VII.

“”Where one cannot trace ancestry to a nation outside of the United States, a former regional or political group within the United States, such as the Confederacy, does not constitute a basis for a valid national origin classification,” Scirica wrote.”Of course, the idiot should have taken the bumper sticker down when asked to do so. Sony owned the parking lot. It had the right to set the rules. Period. Further, it’s simply pathetic for an allegedly proud Confederate to resort to statist-victimology and run whining to the illegitimate national government. I dub him an honorary yankee.

Not only that, bumper stickers are sooooo white trash, no matter what they say, though I admit I had one in law school reading Nuke The Gay Unborn Russian Whales. And why someone needs to bring his toothless, hillbilly good-ole-boy confederacy worshipping into the workplace parking lot is beyond me.
