How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that repeated racial slurs by two owners constituted direct evidence that the plaintiff's termination might have been racially motivated
• holding that supervisors’ use of racial slurs on multiple occasions constituted direct evidence of racial discrimination
• deciding that racist com- ments were not hearsay because they were offered to demonstrate racial attitudes and were not offered to prove the truth of the com- ments
• concluding racist comments not specifically related to the plaintiff “constitute[d] direct evidence” of discrimination
• explaining that because the KCRA is specifically modeled after Title VII, to state a claim thereunder “a plaintiff must prove the same elements as required for a prima facie case of discrimination under Title VII”
• tailoring a prima facie case to suit instance in which plaintiff was the only management-level employee involved in an after-hours incident, so that he could not show disparate discipline of similarly-situated employees
