United States Eighth Circuit

Summary judgment for defendant-employer on plaintiff's race-based employment discrimination and hostile work environment claims is affirmed where plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case of race-based employment discrimination, and certain comments made by a supervisor were offensive, but insufficient to give rise to a triable hostile work environment claim.
