Furthermore, victims of this kind of discrimination can turn to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) &#8212; the agency that enforces federal anti-discrimination laws &#8212; for help and support.<\/p>\n<p>Under Title VII, immigrants who have the ability to legally work in the United States cannot be denied an employment opportunity as a result of their ancestry, national origin, race, culture, accent or linguistic characteristics. Furthermore, they must receive equal opportunities no matter if they are associated with or married to someone from a specific nation. The same protections apply to someone who has a surname that belongs to a specific national origin group.<\/p>\n<p>Title VII employment protections include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Protection from hiring, recruitment, firing and layoff decisions based on national origin.<\/li>\n<li>Protection from harassment based on national origin.<\/li>\n<li>Protection from discrimination based on foreign accents unless the accent prevents the worker from successfully carrying out his or her job duties.<\/li>\n<li>Protection from English-only rules that aren&#8217;t required for safe and efficient workplaces.<\/li>\n<li class=\"last-child\">Protection from national origin discrimination of all legal U.S. workers regardless of whether the individuals are U.S. citizen or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Understand your rights as a foreigner working in the United States<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest problems with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elizabethtatelaw.com\/discrimination-law\/\">national origin discrimination<\/a> is the fact that workers often do not know their legal rights and protections under U.S. federal laws. If you&#8217;re from a foreign country working in the United States &#8212; and you believe you have been the victim of discrimination based on your characteristics as a foreigner or immigrant, study your civil rights and take legal actions to stop the discrimination if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gone are the days of signs in front of businesses that say things like &#8220;Irish need not apply,&#8221; but national origin discrimination continues to be a problem in Arizona and other areas of the United States.
