Answer 1

Answer: If Norwing does not hire him because he is an African-American, the company has engaged in ethnic discrimination.

Explanation:

Workplace discrimination is illegal which can be based on race, religion, gender, age, disability, nationality origin etc. Ethnicity discrimination means people are from different groups such as racial, religious linguistic basis.

Norwing LLC  has to only consider the skills and capability of the person to be in chief executive officer position.
