Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) defense allows employers to make employment decisions based on gender, national origin, and religion when these are reasonably necessary to the normal operation of a particular business. However, race or color cannot be considered as BFOQs under any circumstances according to U.S. federal law.
