>saying an appeals court had been wrong to require her to meet a heightened burden in seeking to prove workplace discrimination because she was a member of a majority group

This seems to be more of a question of the LEGAL process, less so about the case itself.

I would agree that if someone is trying to prove workplace discrimination in the courts, everyone should be held to the same standard / burden to prove it.

In this case the woman in question gets to go back to court to prove her case.

More detail here:

>At issue in the case was a legal standard used by some federal circuit courts that impose a higher bar to prove discrimination on people who are heterosexual, white, and/or male than on minorities.
