Chuntao,an employee of Chinese origin,works as a sales representative at Arcade Recyclers International.Her supervisor,Jim,persistently refers to her as "Charlene" instead of "Chuntao." Although she objects and asks to be called by her rightful name,Jim continues to call her "Charlene" for over a year and justifies his actions by saying that an American-sounding name would increase her chances of success and would be more acceptable to Arcade's clientele.Chuntao brings a complaint under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.Which of the following holds true in this case?
A) Arcade Recyclers International will not be liable to Chuntao because the use of "Charlene" is neither a racial epithet nor a description of her physical ethnic traits.
B) Arcade Recyclers International will be liable to Chuntao because ethnic characteristics go beyond skin color and other physical traits and can include names.
C) Arcade Recyclers International will not be liable to Chuntao because Jim did not intend his use of "Charlene" to be derogatory of her national origin.
D) Arcade Recyclers International will be liable to Chuntao because Title VII provides protection against discrimination based on a victim's country of citizenship.
