		To prove a hostile work environment, West had the burden of establishing that he suffered intentional, pervasive, and regular racial discrimination of which PECO supervisors and management were aware and which PECO permitted to continue.
		Because a hostile work environment claim is a single cause of action, rather than a sum of discrete claims, each to be judged independently, the focus is the work atmosphere as a whole.
		If an employer knowingly (actually or constructively) permits a hostile work environment to exist, it is of no import that the collection of incidents comprising the claim were committed by a variety of individuals.[fn10] Rather, by implicitly condoning harassing behavior, the employer may facilitate its spread by a greater number of harassing employees.

	Hostile Work Environment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		When the workplace is permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule and insult that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim's employment and create an abusive working environment, Title VII is violated, and a hostile work environment is created.
		Courts look to the totality of the circumstances in determining whether an employee has established a hostile work environment claim, considering factors including the frequency of the discriminatory conduct; its severity; whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or a mere offensive utterance; and whether it unreasonably interferes with an employee's work performance.
		Because the crucial inquiry focuses on the nature of the workplace environment as a whole, an employee who experiences discriminatory harassment need not be the target of other instances of hostility in order for those incidents to support her claim.

		No one would dispute that working as a U.S. soldier on foot patrol in war-torn Baghdad, Iraq constitutes a "hostile work environment." However, within the context of employment discrimination, determining what constitutes a hostile work environment may be a harder concept to grasp.

	HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT
		In New Jersey state courts, a trend is developing which finds that a single remark can be severe enough to demonstrate a hostile work environment under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination ("LAD"), and to permit a plaintiff to have a jury decide his or her claims.
		Although these cases generally recognize that the LAD is not intended to be a "general civility code," and that offensive, crude or inappropriate comments are not automatically evidence of discrimination, New Jersey appellate courts are routinely reversing trial judges who dismiss cases in which a single remark forms the basis of the plaintiff’s claim.
		Because a supervisor plays a unique role in shaping the work environment and preventing and rectifying harassment in the workplace, courts are more likely to permit a plaintiff to proceed with his or her claim when a supervisor has uttered the offensive remark, provided the remark is severe enough.
