“Silberkleit contends that the case should be tossed out because white males are not ‘a protected class.’”
Since it’s illegal to discriminate against anyone regarding their race and/or gender, white males are most certainly protected by non-discrimination and/or anti-harassment workplace laws.
Off subject but: That’s one thing I don’t get about so many straight people being against ENDA in the U.S. - It will protect employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation - and ‘straight’ is an orientation that will be protected.
Male is a gender.
White is a race.
Christian is a religion.
Straight is a sexual orientation.
Not-Transgendered (cisgendered) is a gender identity.
