Title VII protects members of both majority and minority groups from race-based discrimination. See McDonald v. Santa Fe Trail Transp. Co., 427 U.S. 273, 278-80, 96 S.Ct. 2574, 2577-78, 49 L.Ed.2d 493 (1976). Generally, a prima facie case of race discrimination under Title VII requires a plaintiff to show
- that she is a member of a racial minority,
- that she applied and was qualified for a vacant job,
- that despite her qualifications she was rejected, and
- that the employer continued to seek applicants with plaintiff's qualifications.
See Notari, 971 F.2d at 588 (citing McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792, 802, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 1824, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973)).
Taken v. Oklahoma Corp. Comm'n, 125 F.3d 1366, 1368-69 (10th Cir. 1997)
