Should You Have To Be Jewish To Claim Anti-Semitism At Work?

Myron Cowher is not Jewish.

But as a truck driver for the New Jersey-based Carson & Roberts Site Construction & Engineering Inc., he says that he was the victim of anti-Semitic slurs. "Only a Jew would argue over his hours," a supervisor told him. In an unanimous ruling on Wednesday the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court found that Cowher's discrimination suit against his former employer could proceed to trial, even though Cowher isn't Jewish.
