A Florida car saleswoman of Middle Eastern descent claims she was subjected to race-based discrimination by a coworker who allegedly told her, among other things, that she “smelled like the Middle East,” according to a federal civil rights lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
When Chrisanna Abad, 29, reported the purported abuse to her boss, she says in her complaint that he did nothing to stop the harassment, instead instructing her to “stop b****ing, complaining, and being childish.”
