OK so you admit that such cases exist. You admit that sometimes the plaintiff wins. Then you want to say that no one pays any attention to that because they often lose.Most all race discrimination cases are thrown out on summary judgment Rabbi. You are a hack that spouts what you hear at the barber shop, none of it is true but it matches your low information ideology.
These cases are in Federal court and NO lawyer takes any of these cases unless it is a contingency case. How many of these plaintiffs have money to pay an attorney to take their case at a $300 a hour fee and a $10,000 retainer up front?
And the success rate for these cases is about 15-20% so how many lawyers are going to front $15,000-$20,000 of THEIR MONEY to take depositions, pay court reporters, pay transcript costs, pay filing fees, pay an investigator to take statements before the case is litigated and pay his staff before the case even makes it to the summary judgment hearing?
Most of the nuisance cases, and there are many, are pro se and are thrown out of court almost immediately with little or no costs of defense other than what they have already done pre litigation as most all businesses keep a record of employee hiring and firing without this law.
The "we will offer the cost of the defense" is not a real issue in these cases as Orrin Hatch finally admitted as he voted against it the first time in '96 and for it now.
Now go back to what you know best Rabbi because this ain't it. I am sure you are good at what you do but this is not it. I have worked on both sides of these cases for 34 years, never on the same case of course and 80%+ for the defense of them, and know how this works in the Federal courts. No lawyer takes any of these cases unless it is a good one and there are always the very, very few where you get some whore like Gloria Alred where she steps in for publicity only.
You have no clue and are winging it on sound bite spin.
Really?
Lots of business decisions are made based on the likelihood of getting sued. Not the likelihood of losing the suit.
But since you know so much, surely you know that too.
As for anecdotal evidence, it took all of 7 seconds in a google search to turn up this gem. How many others will there be just like it?

Yeah, go have an argument with someone you might beat.
Your argument is ban all civil law suits and their jury trials in America because a jury has to decide if they are valid or not.
LOL, on this one Rabbi you are the complete fool.
Actually...Rabbi is simply just a complete fool, with or w/o this.
Rabbi, why don't you cite all the frivolous lawsuits by blacks that falsely claimed to be fired over their race.
Based on the claptrap you've been spewing, that should be easy for you to do.
