Sumrall v. Ali

Holding

"Targeting the Star of David is as racially motivated as the highly offensive racial slur, "n*****""

Purposefully yanking on an Israeli flag tied around a Jewish person's neck to choke them is direct evidence of racial discrimination. The Star of David — emblazoned on the Israeli flag — symbolizes the Jewish race. Battery, particularly involving a racial symbol, is strong evidence of racial discrimination and more severe than racial slurs that alone constitute direct evidence.
