Donald Trump's racist 'go back to where you came from” tweets at four congresswomen are a classic form of unlawful, workplace discrimination.
“Ethnic slurs and other verbal or physical conduct because of nationality are illegal if they are severe or pervasive and create an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment, interfere with work performance, or negatively affect job opportunities,” according to the EEOC.
We repeat: The EEOC lists examples of unlawful workplace language and the one phrase they used as an example of harassment based on national origin is the exact phrase our President lobbed at four women of color in Congress.
