What is the test for a plaintiff to prove that their employer intentionally discriminated against them?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Windham v. Time Warner Inc., 275 F.3d 179 (2nd Cir. 2000):

"[A] plaintiff's prima facie case, combined with sufficient evidence to find that the employer's asserted justification is false, may permit the trier of fact to conclude that the employer unlawfully discriminated." Reeves, 530 U.S. at 148, 120 S.Ct. at 2109. After Reeves, the court must examine each case to "determine whether the plaintiff could satisfy his ultimate burden of persuading the trier of fact that the defendant intentionally discriminated against the plaintiff." Schnabel v.
