Kaon-Jabbar East El claims in his lawsuit that being required to identify himself as a certain race or ethnicity violated his religious beliefs of Islamism. UPS’ human resources department told him he couldn’t go back to employee orientation before selecting a box, according to the suit filed Tuesday in Multnomah County Circuit Court. The lawsuit also says East El believed that none of the options on the form accurately reflected his ethnicity and the job application didn’t include an “other” box. East El’s national origin is Moorish, from the people who inhabited North and Northwest Africa, according to his suit. [/QUOTE]
