Noteworthy Content:

00:08:52,900 - Act because black hair discrimination is race discrimination.

00:19:33,100 - around race as a protected class and what

00:21:34,840 - categories of protected class are already recognized.

00:26:16,080 - And there's currently not a definition of race in the act.

00:26:31,820 - whether someone is a member of that protected class is currently determined

00:26:58,380 - It's determined by what their race is.

00:27:15,660 - belongs to a protected class currently

00:27:25,500 - a protected class itself or the class of race,

00:27:43,940 - depends on what race you are.

00:27:46,740 - the protected class status that you belong to

00:28:32,440 - your race is, and you would tell me what your race is,

00:29:43,640 - really, you're using protected class broadly,

00:30:12,120 - if you're asking, is somebody lying about their protected class status,

00:31:39,780 - the protected class status was a motivating factor in the discrimination,

00:34:07,640 - we're adding race to the definition section,

00:35:13,540 - falls solidly within race discrimination

00:35:21,660 - There are cases around hair discrimination and race discrimination certainly across the country.

00:36:40,940 - saying right there is a very race neutral policy.

00:37:03,680 - So race neutral policy.

00:37:28,460 - I guess my preference would be if we're going to undertake to define race and put it into the act,
