1) Marci went to an interview for a position with Mama Mia's Italian Kitchen in the Little Italy neighborhood in North Seattle.Mama Mia's has about 25 full-time employees.Mama, the owner of the restaurant, takes one look at Marci, and tells her to go home - saying:"We only hire people with Italian heritage in our restaurant - I can tell by your blonde hair and super-white skin that your heritage must be from Northern Europe - like Sweden or Finland or Norway or Denmark or something!"In fact, Marci's parents did emigrate to the US from Sweden.Marci wants to know if she has a valid legal claim against Mama Mia's?
