An ethnic group may be defined as a social collection of persons who identify with each other based on common ancestral, cultural, social, or national experiences such as a shared ancestry, history, homeland, heritage, language, belief, immigration experience, or appearance. A person’s ethnicity may be related to his race, religion, national origin, immigration status, or tribe. Like discrimination based on race, religion, and national origin, it is unlawful to terminate or harass an employee because of his ethnic background. The same remedies are available to such victims of wrongful termination.
