Two former employees of the Oregon State Department of Corrections have been awarded a total of $1 million in a discrimination lawsuit that alleged antiwhite racism by a black supervisor against the pair.
A jury found that Russell Rice and Larry Lytle, both white, had faced racial discrimination and retribution for whistleblowing when they alleged that black superintendent Frank Thompson favored fellow blacks at the expense of qualified whites. All three were employed at the Santiam Correctional Institution, where both white men had routinely earned favorable performance ratings.
