Mohammed, an Arab-American Muslim high school student, had a job after school at a fast-food restaurant. A few co-workers started asking him why his "cousins" bombed the World Trade Center. Mohammed ignored their taunts. Then a manager began to add comments such as "Hey Mohammed, we're going to have to check you for bombs". Mohammed felt humiliated and angry. Soon after, he was terminated for accidentally throwing away a paper cup that the manager was using. He suspects that his religious and ethnic background was the real reason he was fired. Discuss all legal issues and analyze the claim.
