OPINION
WELLS, District Judge.
Mary Martinez appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of her employer, defendant Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (“Cracker Barrel”), on Ms. Martinez’s claims of “reverse” racial discrimination, filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and the Michigan Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA), MCL § 37.2101 et seq., arising out of Cracker Barrel’s termination of Ms. Martinez from her position as retail manager of its Flint, Michigan store. Finding Ms. Martinez has failed to establish her prima facie case, we affirm the grant of summary judgment.
