• “Race” is interpreted as classes of persons identifiable because of their ancestry or ethnic characteristics. Anti-discrimination race laws are not limited to traditional minorities, but also prohibit discrimination against Whites as well as Blacks, Hispanics or Asians; and discrimination against males as well as females. • “National origin” is defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as the physical, cultural, or linguistic characteristics of a particular national group. This definition also includes the birthplace of individuals or their ancestors.
