(Detroit Free Press) In Troy, a 25-year-old employee at an aerospace testing company who is Muslim says he was disparaged and mocked with pork products after his supervisor found out he was Muslim.
In Taylor, a Muslim worker said he was belittled and then fired after his employer found out about his faith and asked him why he didn’t celebrate Christmas.
And in Hazel Park, several Muslim employees at an auto battery plant said they had to sit through racist training for active shooter incidents that depicted Muslims and Arabs in demeaning ways, associating their faith with terrorism.
The three recent allegations of racism are examples of what civil rights advocates say is a growing number of workplace discrimination incidents in metro Detroit faced by Muslims.
