Yes but if it is a pattern anyone can recognize it is cause for investigation and if there were pattern breaking applicants then that is probably a suit. Of course, a court will decide case by case if what happened was actually discrimination. Even with all this, there is a crapton of actual discrimination just based on people's names. Another commentie on this post was mentioning how their employer was tossing out all indian sounding names, i have seen similar things as well. This is very common and the law allows lawsuits based on patterns of unequal outcomes and in civil cases, the defendant has to prove the accusation is false (opposite of innocent until proven guilty).
