United States Seventh Circuit

In a Title VII action claiming that a nursing home's practice of acceding to the racial biases of its residents was illegal and created a hostile work environment, summary judgment for defendant is reversed where: 1) the racial preference policy violated Title VII by creating a hostile work environment; and 2) issues of fact remained over whether race motivated plaintiff's discharge.
