Color, as opposed to race, refers to the color of one’s skin. Even if discrimination is alleged against a member of the same race, the color of one’s skin might be used as a foundation for a lawsuit. “Race” is a broad term that refers to groups of people whose ancestry or ethnic features can identify. On its face, “national origin” refers to “a person’s birth country or, more broadly, the place from whence his or her ancestors immigrated.” Employer guidelines mandating employees to use English at all times in the workplace may constitute national origin discrimination. According to the lawsuit, they may even create a hostile work environment for non-English speakers or workers who prefer to converse in a foreign language on the job. Furthermore, discrimination based on a person’s dialect or clothing regulations against ethnic apparel may be grounds for a claim of national origin discrimination.
