Works for me.
Really, they have a case for age discrimination - not for being French. Sacre blue!

“created and fostered an environment rife with anti-French sentiment.” I guess one could argue that firing people who drink wine on the job is fostering ant-French sentiment...

Maybe they wouldn't have been so easily identified as "French" if they hadn't carried a white flag and kept their hands raised continually...

That lawsuit shouldn't survive a preliminary motion to dismiss: It's common knowledge that the French themselves have created an anti-French environment. You'd think that would be a basic tenet of British common law as adopted by the American legal system.

All of these people worked there for a decade-plus. Are they arguing that the employer JUST NOW discovered they were French?

Yes but being French they could no better than screw up a job discrimination suit.
If Frogs drink wine do they get drunk?

The lost appetites of customers being served by women with hairy armpits probably had something to do with it too. Or perhaps the failure to bathe caused them to smell like an over-ripe brie cheese.
Frankly I can hardly think of a better reason to fire somebody then simply being French.
