00:00:05.887 --> 00:00:06.956
I'm telling ya...

00:00:06.966 --> 00:00:09.693
- you're gonna lose.
- I don't think so.

00:00:10.595 --> 00:00:11.773
Hey, Lexie.

00:00:11.843 --> 00:00:13.201
Settle something for us, will ya?

00:00:13.308 --> 00:00:14.288
What's that?

00:00:14.445 --> 00:00:16.235
Me and the guys have
a pool going here.

00:00:16.345 --> 00:00:18.086
You and the guys?

00:00:18.123 --> 00:00:18.599
Yah...

00:00:18.706 --> 00:00:20.532
I bet twenty bucks...

00:00:21.328 --> 00:00:23.876
...that the carpet doesn't
match the drapes...

00:00:31.972 --> 00:00:35.107
Simply asking a question about
a woman's natural hair color...

00:00:35.118 --> 00:00:37.245
isn't unlawful in and of itself.

00:00:37.395 --> 00:00:41.301
But here both the facts that the men
convey that they have a bet going -

00:00:41.321 --> 00:00:44.645
and that one of them is laughing
at the question as it's asked -

00:00:44.655 --> 00:00:47.517
make this an example
of borderline behavior.

00:00:47.642 --> 00:00:50.577
It's clearly inappropriate
and unprofessional

00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:52.351
If the coworker complains,

00:00:52.362 --> 00:00:55.598
the behavior needs to be addressed
by management immediately.

00:00:55.790 --> 00:00:56.738
In addition,

00:00:56.748 --> 00:01:00.711
if the question had been asked while
staring at the woman's lower body,

00:01:00.745 --> 00:01:03.197
or if this type of
questioning continues,

00:01:03.227 --> 00:01:07.483
it could be considered hostile
environment sexual harassment.
