removed the action to this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a) which provides for the removal of any action brought in the state courts over which the United States District Courts have original jurisdiction. 3 .

Co., 523 F.Supp. 148, 151 n.2 (E.D.Cal.1981). 4 . It is true that section 1981 provides that “all persons” shall have the rights and benefits of “white citizens,” however, the latter phrase has been found by the Supreme Court not to limit the scope of those who fall within section 1981’s protection. McDonald v. Santa Fe Trail Transportation Co., 427 U.S. 273, 286-96, 96 S.Ct. 2574, 2581-83, 49 L.Ed.2d 493 (1976) (<HOLDING>). Nonetheless, the Court has viewed the phrase
holding unequivocally that  1981 protects against racial discrimination in private employment holding that section 1981 prohibits racial discrimination in private employment against whites as well as nonwhites holding that title vii proscribes racial discrimination against whites upon the same standards as racial discrimination against nonwhites holding with little discussion that section 1981 applies to private racial discrimination holding that title vii proscribe racial discrimination in private employment against whites on the same terms as racial discrimination against nonwhites
