Former state employee wins $150,000 in reverse discrimination case
Mark Pasternak said he lost his state job helping troubled youths because he couldnt stand working under a black boss who called him racist names like cracker, polack and stupid white boy. Pasternak was dismissed from his position as a youth worker with the state Office of Children and Family Services in 1999. But today, he feels some relief and vindication. After a rare reverse racial discrimination trial in Buffalos federal court, a jury Tuesday awarded Pasternak $150,000. Jurors found that his former boss, Tommy E. Baines, discriminated against him racially and created a hostile working environment
