Temp Agency Uses Codewords for Minorities

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Tom Crane

 According to the ABA Bar Journal, the EEOC settled a case against a temp agency in Ohio.  The agency used code words to describe the racial background of potential employees.  "Chocolate cupcake" referred to young female African Americans.  "Hockey players" described young white males. 

The case settled for $650,000.  The case was pretty egregious, said the EEOC Field Director.
