Oops, pasted copied wrong para from eeoc site in post 108. Should be this:
“National origin discrimination involves treating people (applicants or employees) unfavorably because they are from a particular country or part of the world, because of ethnicity or accent, or because they appear to be of a certain ethnic background (even if they are not).”
So, again, non refugee countries are treated unfavorably.
Starbucks is not discriminating against people who are not Refugees, but have simply made a decision to include Refugees among the people they do hire.
Starbucks’ plan to hire Refugees is no different from their initiatives to hire Veterans and hire young Americans.
Now, if Starbucks enacts a policy that prohibits the hiring of American citizens, and restricts their hiring to only Refugees, you would have a point.
