I hope the jury does not act niggardly.
No kidding. Remember when James Watt had to resign for using the word niggardly.
I think a student at Michigan State was expelled for saying a Black girl was as loud as a water buffalo, water ever that means. Seems water bufalo and water melon sound too close.
The case will never get to a jury. California is an "at-will" state, meaning any employee can quit, or be fired, at any time with or without reason. The only exception is if there is an employment contract which says otherwise; and since he didn't sue for breach of contract, we can assume he didn't have one.
