Do national origin, race, color, and religious discrimination intersect in some cases?
Yes. Title VIIs prohibition against religious discrimination may overlap with Title VIIs prohibitions against discrimination based on national origin, race, and color. Where a given religion is strongly associated or perceived to be associated with a certain national origin, the same facts may state a claim of both religious and national origin discrimination. All four bases might be implicated where, for example, co-workers target a dark-skinned Muslim employee from Saudi Arabia for harassment because of his religion, national origin, race, and/or color. 16. Does Title VII prohibit retaliation? Yes. Title VII prohibits retaliation by an employer, employment agency, or labor organization because an individual has engaged in protected activity. Protected activity consists of opposing a practice the employee reasonably believes is made unlawful by one of the employment discrimination statutes or of filing a charge, testifying, assisting, or participating in any manner in an investigation
