National Origin/Immigration Discrimination Generally, national origin discrimination means treating someone less favorably because that individual (or his or her ancestors) is from a certain place or belongs to a particular national origin group. The place is usually a country or a former country, for example, Colombia or Serbia. In some cases, the place has never been a country, but is closely associated with a group of people who share a common language, culture, ancestry, and/or other similar social characteristics, for example, Kurdistan. Federal law prohibits employer actions that have the purpose or effect of discriminating against persons because of their national origin. For example, English-only policies or discriminating against someone because of an accent can lead to a claim for national origin discrimination. Immigration discrimination is based on an individual’s citizenship, rather than his or her national origin. The individual brining a claim for immigration discrimination must be an alien or citizen of the United States. Click here to go back to our practice areas page.
