• finding no pattern of workplace harassment where the supervisor made racial epithets in front of plaintiff and to others
• finding no outrageousness where defendant’s employees called plaintiff the “n-word,” “monkey,” and other racial insults in front of him and repeatedly threatened to fire him while creating false disciplinary actions in support
