To support this claim, Erasmus must show that he is a member of

a majority group

Explanation:

Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a landmark in the history of the USA as it protects the rights of the labor who are treated with bias due to their color, sex, race, national origin etc. As Erasmus has filed a suit against Drain-Pro for reverse discrimination, which is defined as the discrimination against a majority of people to favor the minority of people, so then Erasmus should belong to a majority group in order to win the suit under the claim for reverse discrimination.
