The East Coast Coalition for Tolerance and Non-Discrimination (ECC)
Promoting Inclusion and Equity for Underprivileged Minorities
National origin discrimination, a key manifestation of social marginalization, involves discriminating individuals due to their origin from a certain part of the world, due to their ethnicity or accent, or their resemblance to a certain ethnic background. This form of discrimination is impacting social and judicial fields, both foreign and domestic.
Researches prove that national origin
discrimination affects everyone. Whether black, white, Asian, or Latino, this discrimination includes all races and genders. It is not limited to the United States but is a global issue. As time progresses and immigration issues become subject to more laws, national origin discrimination will get more prevalent in the judicial systems of the U.S. and also other countries.
