Indians Accuse U.S. Bank of Discrimination
Both are named as defendants, as is chief lending officer John Westerheide, the recipient of some of the emails, which contain highly derogatory comments about Indians.
One, by Bauer, as cited by the website, said that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian", and another by him, when asked if he wanted free tickets for his Indian customers to attend a concert by an Indian singer, said he was "only interested if someone is going to detonate an incendiary device".
A brief in the lawsuit quotes Searle as saying, in reference to others associated with the bank: "I don't care what your Indian buddies told you, I make the decisions. I know how you Indians operate. You like to deal with someone you know in upper management, but this does not work like that. Do you understand English?"
Takhar and Gupta eventually got current on their loan after repeatedly being threatened with foreclosure, crainsdetroit.com reported.
Arguing to have the case dismissed, the Lotus bank's lawyer Patrick McCarthy on Wednesday agreed that the emails by Searle and Bauer were wrong, but said they had nothing to do with the bank's actions regarding Takhar and Gupta.
