The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission of the US Department of Labor (EEO) requires employers to not discriminate against employees on the basis of their race or ethnicity.

Race and ethnicity

As of 2007 September 30, the EEO's EEO-1 report must use the racial and ethnic definitions given to it by the Office of Management and Budget in establshing grounds for racial discrimination.[1] The racial and ethnic defintions are the same as the official definitions on the US Census. If the employee identifies their ethnicity as Hispanic then tally them as a Hispanic. Otherwise, tally their race. Discrimination based on Middle Eastern origin or the race of one's spouse can be grounds for a case of racial discrimination.[2]
