BROWN, J.
Ilene Crear claims an employer fired her due to racial bias. She asserts the social workers with whom she worked were prejudiced toward her. We uphold the LIRC's decision that the social workers were not supervisors in fact or law. Therefore, it cannot be said that her employer was a party to the racial animus, if it existed at all. We further hold that an employer cannot be held responsible for the racial bias of co-employees absent knowledge.
