This means that she belongs to a group of individuals who have historically been discriminated against based on their race, gender, age, national origin, or other protected characteristics, as defined by the Civil Rights Act. Discriminatory intent and legal defenses may be relevant later in the case, but they are not necessary elements of establishing a prima facie case.
