“…A black midtown hotel cook says two co-workers inside of a year have dressed like the Ku Klux Klan and harassed him…(serving) the hotel and three employees with a $35 million discrimination lawsuit over an alleged 
racist stunt on Oct. 28, 2010…”
In an amended complaint, Jones says painter Ramon Pagan confronted him in the hotel basement wearing a “pure white cone-shaped article on his head.†Pagan said, “Hey, look at me. I am the Ku Klux Klan,” while a hotel manager witnessed the bizarre exchange, according to court papers filed in Manhattan Federal Court.
“[Pagan] laughed in my face and enjoyed what he was doing. And there was a manager right there looking at him and didn’t say a word.” “It was not a painter’s mask he was wearing, it was perfectly shaped like a cone,” he added.
Jones immediately reported what happened to hotel brass who reviewed a surveillance video which captured the scene. Phoebe Knowles, a vice president for the Roger Smith Hotel, said Friday that management acted decisively and canned Pagan. “The employee no longer works here,” Knowles said.
“We have a strict policy against any type of harassing actions, and we respond expeditiously when it comes to our attention.”
