8 CSR 60-3.070 - National Origin Discrimination
(1)
It is intended to eliminate covert as well as overt practices of
discrimination, and the commission, therefore, will examine, with particular
concern, cases where persons within the jurisdiction of the commission have
been denied equal employment opportunity for reasons which are grounded in
national origin considerations. Examples of cases of this character which have
come to the attention of the commission include, but are not limited to: The
use of tests in the English language where the individual tested came from
circumstances where English was not that person's first language or mother
tongue, and where English language skill is not a requirement of the work to be
performed; denial of equal opportunity to persons married to or associated with
persons of a specific national origin; denial of equal opportunity because of
membership in lawful organizations identified with or seeking to promote the
interests of national groups; denial of equal opportunity because of attendance
at schools or churches commonly utilized by persons of a given national origin;
denial of equal opportunity because their name or that of their spouse reflects
a certain national origin; and denial of equal opportunity to persons who as a
class of persons tend to fall outside national norms for height and weight
where the height and weight specifications are not necessary for the
performance of the work involved.
