National Origin Discrimination

National origin discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly because of their country of birth, ethnicity, or cultural background. This can include denying employment, promotions, or opportunities, or subjecting individuals to harassment or unequal treatment based on their national origin. Such discrimination is unlawful because it violates the principles of fairness and equality, regardless of whether the person is a citizen or immigrant. Essentially, it means judging or mistreating someone because of where they or their ancestors are from, rather than their abilities or qualifications.
