Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario represents religious discrimination because Smith was fired based on his religious affiliation with Scientology. This violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on religion. The fact that Smith was based in Brazil is not a valid reason for termination and does not fall under national origin discrimination. There is no evidence of racial discrimination, and disparate-impact discrimination does not apply in this case.
