Black Victim of Racial "Code Words" Fired for Complaining

According to an August 20, 2006 article in the Houston Chronicle a White, Los Gatos, California medical clinic supervisor, used racial code words to intimidate a Black file clerk. In the EEOC complaint, the victim alleges that one of the code words used against her was the infamous “n” word—spelled backwards. The Black worker was fired after complaining about coded racial slurs.

The article also discusses how racial discrimination is becoming more subtle these days. But, most African Americans already know that.
