The Supreme Court stepped into a dispute Tuesday over whether white managers can be sued for calling black employees "boys."

The Court overturned an 11th Circuit decision that said the term "boy" alone was not evidence of workplace discrimination and ordered the appeals court to reconsider the matter.
