Azul Cohen · Answer 1

The law gives him the right to protect himself from this behavior

Explanation:

The Civil Right Acts' prohibition title VII gives protection against discrimination to workers from different ethnic groups in the work place. This kind of discrimination can cause national-origin lawsuit in title VII. But it is necessary that if Mohans job involves speaking to the public that he speaks some English.
