Seventh Circuit -- Ramon Pena v. Kraft Foods Global,

Ramon Pena v. Kraft Foods Global,

Error in trial court holding that Title VII showing of racial animus was defeated by a showing that an employee of the same race did not receive such discriminatory work assignments.

Even when discriminatory comments are not proximate to the time of alleged violation, they can support an indirect claim when supported by additional evidence.
