This discussion reminds me of a slightly different situation in a
slightly different country that a former co-worker of mine faced.  She
had applied for a sales position at an upscale department store in
Paris only to be told she was being turned away because her accent
did not fit with the image the store projected.  She was Moroccan.

>>From language to accent to ethnic/racial discrimination.  I wonder if the
"Abercrombie & Fitch look" would have been safe from lawsuits had it
instead  been the "Abercrombie & Fitch accent".
