White supremacist asks hospital to only assign white nurses to his baby in the NICU

[^_^ 5,021]

(CNN) - A nurse is suing a hospital, claiming it agreed to a man's request that no African-Americans care for his baby.

...

The man approached Battle, while she was caring for his child in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit, asking to speak to her supervisor, according to the complaint filed in January by Battle's attorney.

She pointed the charge nurse in his direction.

The man, who is not named in the filing, allegedly showed her a tattoo that may have been "a swastika of some kind" and told her that he didn't want African-Americans involved in his baby's care.

The request, according to the lawsuit, made its way through management ranks, and was granted. Battle's manager called her at home to tell her she would be reassigned -- and why, the suit says.

Does this make the mother a feminazi?

It's hard to believe the Hospital took this from him.

But the truth is, this sorta thing does go on all the time, not so much race be with gender.

People aften reject a male nurse or NA.

It is very common for women to rule out men as OBGYN.

Whats the difference what this guy did and what many other people do?

Nah, it is just that Dannologic again! Medical science has not yet discovered the cure.

No, he isn't.

I am going to believe he is. I am going to pretend that people do not actually think this way. Ignorance is bliss. Don't burst my bubble of happy.

Sure this is what they do.... rather than address gender bias they find it much more easy to throw insults and pretend they are much better than the goon in the story.

Bottom line, discrimination is discrimination.

Not one post addressing your gender bias angle has been removed. But that fact gets in the way of you always being the victim, doesn't it?
