It looks like Paula Deen may have won the battle but lost the war.

Remember the racial discrimination suit that brought down  Deen?  

Well, the judge just made a ruling and Paula Deen won the case. 

The judge ruled in favor of Deen in lawsuit that destroyed the famous chef and lost her most her sponsors.

Lisa Jackson sued Deen for racial discrimination, but because she is white, the judge said the discrimination does not apply to her.  

Jackson made a tenuous argument that someone in her family was bi-racial -- something that may not be true at all.  But the judge said even if it were true, she was at best an "accidental victim."

Jackson also claims sexual discrimination, and that part of the case continues to move forward.
