Without knowing anything about William Morris’ history of racism, I waived my full statutory rights within the first 30 minutes of employment. I started the Agent Trainee program with two other individuals  — a white female and a white/”Jewish” male. I don’t think any of us knew what arbitration was exactly, but we had no problems signing the various agreements in order to work for one of the most prestigious talent agencies in Hollywood. It never crossed my mind that William Morris could be racist because of the fact that the company represented so many notable African American entertainers. It wasn’t until after I signed the agreement which waived my right to pursue any future claims of racial discrimination in the federal court, I learned shortly after, that none of the company’s Agents, Coordinators or Agents Trainees employed in the New York office were African American and that I was considerably more qualified than majority, if not all, of my white/”Jewish” counterparts in the Agent Trainee program. If the racial make up of the Agent Trainee program is more than 90 percent white/”Jewish” historically due to the company’s discriminatory employment practices, policies and procedures, are whites/”Jews” being discriminated against because of their race and/or color? It is clear that this agreement is nothing more than a “savvy legal loophole” to prevent the federal court and/or an impartial jury from ever deciding a case like mine.
