Racist graffiti and swastikas were scrawled on port-a-pottie walls. A noose was displayed at a worksite where African-Americans were employed. A threat of lynching was made. A black man was taunted with the epithet “boy.”

All of this happened at Apple’s “Spaceship” campus in Cupertino while the $1.1 billion project was under construction, and a San Jose electrical subcontractor for Apple tolerated it, a just-filed civil-rights lawsuit by federal employment regulators alleges.
