Legal Protections Against National Origin Discrimination

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination prohibit discrimination based on national origin throughout all employment stages—hiring, wages, promotions, training, and termination. These laws also forbid harassment and hostile work environments tied to national origin. If you have been targeted or harassed because of your national origin, Castronovo & McKinney offers expert representation to help you pursue justice.

What Constitutes National Origin Discrimination?

  • Country or Place of Origin: Discrimination against someone or their ancestors based on birthplace, including refugees.
  • Ethnic Group Discrimination: Bias against employees for their shared cultural traits, language, or ancestry.
  • Perceived Ethnicity: Prejudice based on assumptions about an employee’s ethnic background.
  • Affiliations: Discrimination due to association with individuals of certain national origins.

All these actions violate federal and state laws. We protect your rights when discrimination occurs in any form.

Recognizing National Origin Discrimination

Common examples include:

  • Rejecting qualified candidates because of their foreign accent.
  • Using derogatory language about a person’s country of origin.
  • Implementing English-only rules without a legitimate business reason.
  • Requiring non-Caucasian applicants to prove work authorization while exempting others.
  • Claiming applicants don’t fit the company culture due to accent or ethnicity.

Employers may hide discrimination behind neutral policies, but if those policies disproportionately impact employees based on national origin, they may still be unlawful unless proven essential to business operations.
