It is absolutely absurd to have such high monetary payment due to racism unless it caused physical injury. I would love for someone at work to do the slanty eyes at me and say ching ching chung if I know there's a few million waiting for that kind of behavior.So after lawyer fees (my guess - $800k), he's left with $2.4M. This is taxable income because it is not a physical injury settlement ~ 32% for federal, don't know about state. He is probably walking away with $1.3M give or take. I guess on the bright side, not too shabby for 'working' at the tesla factory for only 9 months
The appropriate award should be all lawyers fees paid by Tesla, immediate termination of all party involved, and paid at the hourly rate the worker was in court.
