Can I file a lawsuit regarding racial discrimination? Two days ago an assistant manager at my workplace made a comment about my race saying to me hey Hispanic guy no I mean hey you (profane word) Mexican! I guess he was trying to joke with me when I have never made any type of racial remark to him periodically. Is it possible to file for a lawsuit about this if I haven't told management yet or recorded the time it took place or exact words there was a coworker that witnessed the altercation.

A:

Lighten up. Were you hurt by the statement? Did the statement cause you to be treated differently at work? What are your damages? To answer your question I’d say at this point, no, but if it keeps up you would need to follow the rules of the workplace in reporting the incidents to the supervisor above your boss.
