Civil case - employment discrimination. Evidence was sufficient to permit a reasonable juror to find that the work environment was permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule and insult based on plaintiff's race; a reasonable juror could find that plaintiff did not unreasonably fail to take advantage of corrective/preventive opportunities offered by the defendant and that the defendant was not entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the Ellerth-Faragher affirmative defense; evidence was sufficient to support the jury's damage award, and the amount of the award was not excessive; jury instructions on hostile work environment tracked the Eighth Circuit Civil Jury Instructions and the wording of the instructions was not error; verdict forms and jury instructions as a whole adequately stated the law of the circuit; ministerial tasks of supervising a jury and a receiving a verdict on behalf of an Article III judge may be delegated to a magistrate judge; attorneys' fees award affirmed.
