Answer to Question 2

Providing evidence that a black employee who had three unexcused absences was fired whereas a white employee with the same number of unexcused absences was not is enough to establish a mixed motives case. The Supreme Court has ruled that plaintiffs do not need a smoking gun or direct evidence in showing a protected characteristic to be a motivating factor but can rely on circumstantial evidence that does not have to be linked directly to the employment decision.
