Question

The defendant's foreman on a series of terrazzo-flooning installations apparently treated all of his subordinates "abominably according to the court. Plaintiff Jesse Thompson, the only African American worker on the crew, testified that the foreman belittled him for being "coor with the white mother fuckers who were his coworkers He allegedly called Thompson an "Fing Uncle Tom" and "whitewash." He also allegedly called Thompson a nigger In fact the evidence suggested he did so frequently. The foreman likewise called Thompson's Latino coworkers "mother fucking wetbacks and did so all the time. By the same token, he referred to Plaintiff Vitaliy Ostapyuk, a Caucasian born in Ukraine, as a fucking Russian Because the foreman apparently was an equal opportunity harasser is it possible that his language did not violate Title VII?

Use of inappropriate words by foreman violated the code of conduct of a workplace.
