RACIAL SLURS BASED ON WRONG RACE
 
 
A prison employee of Filipino and Native American descent was subjected to anti-white slurs by an African-American employee. The employer argued that since discriminatory comments were not directed to Filipinos or Native Americans, the claim must fail. The Court disagreed, finding that the comments were directed at the employee. Further, the Court found that since employees in a prison need to trust their co-workers, the racial slurs interfered with the employee's work.
