And HR won't let you be a liability for a lawsuit either. HR is there to protect the company, not you. If they see that you could be a threat in terms of "work discrimination" they will get rid of you first for other reasons so you won't have the chance

What the fuck is this thought process? Document everything as it happens, then EEOC their ass for the obvious discrimination. Do not let people discriminate against you.

Then you can take them to court for wrongful termination.

I've never worked for a company where HR was anything but useless. When you get fired for shit like this (or in general) it's usually someone in the management chain calling the shots.

"I would like to file a wrongful termination suit"

"We'll need $50K for pre-trial, more if they won't settle"

"Oh shit I thought lawsuits were free???"

"Common mistake, we get that all the time"
