The defendant's foreman on a series of terrazzo-flooring installations apparently treated all of his subordinates "abominably," according to the court. Plaintiff Jesse Thompson, the only African American worker on the crew, testified that the foreman belittled him for being "cool" with the "white mother fuckers" who were his coworkers. He allegedly called Thompson an "F'ing Uncle Tom" and "whitewash." He also allegedly called Thompson a "nigger." In fact, the evidence suggested he did so frequently. The foreman likewise called Thompson's Latino coworkers "mother fucking wetbacks," and did so "all the time." By the same token, he referred to Plaintiff Vitaliy Ostapyuk, a Caucasian born in Ukraine, as a "fing Russian."

Because the foreman apparently was an "equal opportunity harasser," is it possible that his language did not violate Title VII? [See Thompson v. North American Terrazzo, Inc., 2015 WL 926575 (W.D. Wash. 2015).] please answer the question presented, what the court decided, the legal and factual reasons for the court's decision and whether you agree or disagree with the court's decision based on the law and the facts
