The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review a lawsuit filed by a Black strip-club dancer who alleged racial discrimination after being sent home from shifts due to the presence of "too many Black girls" working at Houston-area strip clubs. The case involved claims that these clubs violated federal civil rights laws by discriminating against Black dancers. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented from the Court's decision to reject the appeal. The case had drawn attention for its potential implications on reverse discrimination claims and workplace discrimination in the adult entertainment industry.
