The first study looked at federal cases that dealt with racial harassment. It found that employee/plaintiffs lost their race-harassment cases just 54% of the time when the judge handling the case was an African-American. However, when the judge handling the case was white, the plaintiffs lost their cases 79% of the time. Loss rates were also higher with Hispanic judges (81%) and Asian-American judges (67%).
