The most prevalent discrimination that we see today are national origin and race discrimination. Some common examples are national origin. For example, there are instances where there is a particular culture that started the business that opened, let’s say Vietnamese for example. They opened up a retail store and they’re hiring. They tend to gravitate to hiring other Vietnamese, so if a Puerto Rican person comes in and asks for a job and they’re not even given the opportunity to apply simply because they are Puerto Rican and not necessarily Vietnamese.
