Reply to comment by xgorgeoustormx in Black couple settles lawsuit claiming their home appraisal was lowballed due to bias by eastbayted

I get the sarcasm and don't see why you were downvoted. What incentive is there to obey this "I won't do it again" promise? Sure wish we knew how big the fine was. I'm thinking it should've been a half million dollars plus legal fees. And fines for future under-valuations equal to the under-valuation plus legal fees.

The reason is that you won't fix institutional racism by making an example of one older woman who probably is representative of the majority rather than the minority. Add an apology, a little training, a fat payout and an option for the racist company to brush it under the rug and you've got yourself a settlement.
