The following excerpt is from Stonum v. Cnty. of Kern, No. 1:16-cv-01076-DAD-JLT (E.D. Cal. 2017):
Title VII makes it unlawful for an employer to "discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, term, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race [or] color." 42 U.S.C. 2000e-2(a)(1). A person is discriminated against when he or she is singled out and treated lass favorably than others similarly situated on account of race. Jauregui v.
