Applied Business law

Sam works as a driver for Toxic Games Warehouse, a wholesale distributor and online retailer of video games and accessories. Over a ten-year period, Sam repeatedly applies for and is denied a promotion to the position of dispatcher. Sam meets the requirements for the job, which are a years driving experience and a specific license.

After one interview, Sam overhears the interviewer tell a co-worker that Sam, who is white, didn’t get the job because whites are lazy. Is this employment discrimination? Explain.
