Former workers sue McDonald's for racial discrimination over 'too many black people' stance

Two former McDOnald's workers have sued the fast food chain for racial and sexual discrimination in Virginia alleging that some employees were fired from a franchise because there "too many black people".

According to BBC, the local Virginia National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People and a group campaigning for better wages for fast-food workers are supporting the suit.

McDonald's has not yet commented on the suit specifically.

However, the chain issued a statement saying that McDonald's does not discriminate at all and that it has a "history of embracing the diversity of employees, independent franchisees, customers and suppliers".
