United States Supreme Court

A judgment in an employment racial discrimination suit is vacated where the court of appeals erred in: 1) holding that modifiers or qualifications are necessary in all instances to render a disputed term probative of bias; and 2) in articulating a standard for determining whether the asserted nondiscriminatory reasons for defendant's hiring decisions were pretextual.
