#2> [Former Tesla VP] Capers Workman, who is Black, has since left Tesla.
Without commenting on the story or the case itself, I have to say that from a purely journalistic perspective, it is very weird to be calling out the race(s) of people related to a story when it’s not central or key to the reporting. The race of Workman seems to bear no relation to the story itself, so why the callout?

in a story about racism you think the person's race bear no relation to the story itself?

I imagine the relation and relevance are apparent from the title of the article and submission:
"Tesla ordered to pay more than $3M to former worker in racism suit"

How is the race of a member of the company’s management relevant to a lawsuit about alleged racism against workers in a factory?

Capers Workman is (was) a VP, not the worker who made the racism claim. Though I think it is still fine to include her race, as it adds context to the statements she made.

Depends on if the goal was a payday, or to send a message.
