 | Rivera is fifty years-old, and suffers from chronic asthma and malignant lymphoma. |
 | Rivera argues that the subject matter of the alleged acts always related to his age, medical condition, and nationality; that there were numerous incidents; and that until February 1997, he had no reason to believe that he was being discriminated against and did not have a future with the company. |
 | Rivera lastly argues that Prado and Niño made discriminatory remarks based on Rivera's age and national origin: Rebolledo called Rivera stale; Prado and Rebolledo referred to Puerto Ricans as monkeys; and Prado, in discussions with a recruiting firm, expressed a preference for young, intelligent employees and a lack of preference for candidates in their forties. |
