Race Discrimation Case Brought against Hawaiin Tropic
Melody Morales, a woman suing the Hawaiian Tropic Zone in New York for alleged racial discrimination, was accused of being a prostitute by defense counsel. After pictures surfaced on the internet of Ms. Morales on various websites, defense attorneys brought the matter to the attention of the presiding judge in an attempt to have the case dismissed.
Ms. Morales’ attorneys maintain that their client has never been involved in prostitution, and that the photos in question must have been lifted from her Myspace page and posted on other websites without her knowledge or consent.
Ms. Morales is suing the Hawaiin Tropic Zone for racial discrimination, alleging that they did not hire her for a position with the company due to her Latin accent.
