Salim, a Christian Arab, works at a supermarket with some kids from school. When their supervisor isn't around, the kids call Salim a terrorist, and accuse him of being related to Osama bin Laden. They also make negative comments about Muslims because they think Salim is Muslim. Is this workplace discrimination?
- No. Salim has not been discriminated against because his employer has not made any negative decisions about his job, such as firing or demoting him or reducing his pay.
- Yes. Salim is being harassed by his co-workers because he is Arab, which is illegal under federal law. The grocery store may be held responsible for his co-workers' harassment if it knew about the harassment and did nothing to stop it.
- No. Salim has not been discriminated against because his co-workers' comments target Muslims, when, in fact, Salim is Christian.
- No. Salim has not been discriminated against because only his co-workers, and not his supervisors, have harassed him.
