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.
