The hat-trick of discrimination Patterson alleges Apple inflicted upon her centres on claims of racial prejudice which, she maintains, was the reason behind the different salaries and her subsequent termination.

Since when has stating the obvious been iligal. No seriously its wrong it really is, and not funny at all. Not one tiny bit. Nope.

would be interesting if she had "proof" that the document existed - mind you, even then, apple would have to prove that it didn't exist.
