Tesla's case was tad more serious than one employee shouting random racist remarks at another employee.

The article mentions a long pattern of racism to the point it became a part of the company's culture, a few former employees who complained about the systemic problem, a company-enforced arbitration process that systematically brushed complains under the rug as standard operating procedure, and a problem so widespread that a shareholder felt compelled to raise the issue in the company's annual shareholder meeting.

Quoted from the article:

> Institutional Shareholder Services, the proxy advisory firm, recommended shareholders vote for Nia’s proposal, noting that Tesla has faced many serious allegations of sexual and racial harassment and discrimination over the years.
