Group of answer choices

B. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act

D. The Americans with Disabilities Act
E. The Family and Medical Leave Act



Answer :

Answer:

The lawsuit against Cisco for caste discrimination was filed under B. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act1.

This act prohibits discrimination in employment and housing based on a number of protected categories.

While U.S. employment law does not specifically bar caste-based discrimination, the lawsuit contends that the caste system, which has roots in the Hindu faith, is based on protected classes such as religion2.

This case has fueled a movement against caste discrimination and opened up conversations about caste bias in the tech sector34.
