True. But does that also not encompass racial discrimination? Race shouldn't just mean skin colour, but also encompass your country of origin and your social make up.

I think that there is a difference here between race and ethnicity. Race would be the external phenotypical features like skin color that are obvious to someone assessing a job candidate in person. Ethnicity can be harder to determine.
