2) Wishing to cater to its large number of guests from China, a hotel in downtown Vancouver advertised for a front desk manager "of Chinese character in physical appearance". The hotel had an excellent record for hiring on merit without regard to race but had recently lost its desk manager, who was of Chinese descent, to a competitor. After the ad had run for a week, the hotel general manager learned of the wording of the ad and ordered that the quoted phrase be removed. In the end, the hotel hired a manager of Chinese descent who had eight years of experience. Oneof the rejected candidates, a Caucasian with ten years' experience, later learned of the original wording of the ad and brought a complaint against the hotel. Assess his chances of winning the complaint.
