Under FEHA, discrimination based on 'national origin' would include refusing to hire someone because of:
a.Their failure to pass a valid licensing exam
b.Their poor work history
c.Their inability to perform essential job functions
d.Their accent or the country their family came from, absent a genuine job requirement
Explanation
National-origin discrimination includes adverse treatment based on a person's ancestry, ethnicity, accent, or the country of origin of the person or their family. An employer may not reject an applicant for these reasons unless a legitimate, job-related requirement (such as a bona fide language ability actually needed for the job) applies.
