Where a plaintiff has brought suit alleging intentional race-based lending discrimination under the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, a verdict should enter in favor of the bank, as the record does not establish that a comparator was treated better than the plaintiff, nor does the record demonstrate that the bank's non-discriminatory reason for its treatment of the plaintiff was a mere pretext to cover racial discrimination.
