Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Race is the protected class that cannot be used as BFOQ. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has deemed that it is never permissible to make employment decisions based on an individual's race. Bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQ) refers to a defense that an employer can use to justify discrimination based on a protected class if it is necessary for the performance of a job. However, this defense is limited and cannot be used for race.
