How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding the “relatively easy” prima facie test for racial discrimination satisfied where plaintiff’s supervisor called her a “lazy African” and refused to promote her, notwithstanding that the person ultimately hired was also African American
- “the fourth prong of the [McDonnell Douglas prima facie] test is not whether the job was given to someone outside of the protected class, but whether discrimination could be inferred from the circumstances.”
