The Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Thursday that discrimination claims from majority-group plaintiffs do not need to meet a higher legal bar than the one that plaintiffs from historically marginalized groups must meet.

The high court ruled that a federal appeals court erred by holding white, male, and straight employees to a higher standard, dubbed “background circumstances,” in discrimination cases. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote the majority opinion, finding the requirement for extra evidence from those employees “not consistent with Title VII’s text or our case law construing the statute.”
