Bostock is irrelevant. Your friend can sue under Burlington v. News Corp.
Burlington answered this exact question ten years ago, using exactly the same, well-established logic used in Bostock.
Burlington involved a news anchor (Burlington) who was fired after using the N-word descriptively in a staff meeting. He sued under Title VII. He argued he was being ...

I don't see a case under Bostok there. The N-word is not associated with sex or sexuality. Bostok can't help you unless it's a sexuality case.
