Actually, it's principle and logic.

If you want compassion, go to church. Oh wait, I forgot. You guys don't do the "God" thing, do you?

Man, that free legal advice isn't worth much. Now if you were to do some research . . . .
The plaintiff must meet its burden by showing that an employment practice is responsible for a statistically significant adverse impact on a "protected class." Minn. Stat. § 363.03, subd. 11. An employer may attempt to rebut the prima facie case by presenting "contrary interpretations of the plaintiff's statistical data or introduce its own data that casts doubt on the original inference of illegal discrimination." Schlemmer, 397 N.W.2d at 908 (holding claim not substantiated by evidence, where evidence showed only rate at which older employees were hired, not percentage of fired employees who were older).
Brian Kohn v. City of Minneapolis Fire Department (online at http://www.lawlibrary.state.mn.us/archive/ctappub/9808/c5972075.htm)
Needless to say (particularly to someone who pushes ones and zeros around for a living), 1 is not a statistically significant number with a workforce the size of Walmart's.
