Yesterday a U.S. district judge in Georgia dismissed the racial discrimination portion of a lawsuit filed against former television chef Paula Deen. In his ruling, the judge said that the plaintiff, a white woman who worked for Deen for five years, did not have any grounds to sue for discrimination against African Americans because she herself is not black. Deen has been accused of using the "N-word" around employees, but "there were no allegations that any racially offensive remarks were directed at [the plaintiff] or intended to harass [the plaintiff]."
