Brazilian wife wins in court: Apprented criticism as racism!

A judgment with a bang from Great Britain shakes the nation! A judge has decided that criticism of the accent of a Brazilian woman can be classified as a racist harassment. Elaine Carozzi, once an employee of the University of Hertfordshire, argued this right after her upper tongue criticized her pronunciation during her trial period - a violent swipe against her professional skills!

The judgment now ignites a legal fireworks. The judge said that the statements about Carozzi's strong Brazilian accent, regardless of the good English skills, could be seen as a harassment. The court originally ruled that the accent had nothing to do with its ethnicity. But the appeal hearing shakes this view - statements about accents could certainly be linked to ethnic identity and thus considered discrimination.

court decision with signal effect

The decision triggers an intensive debate: insulting accent criticism as racist harassment. The British court saw the need for action here and revised the previous judgment for incorrect assessments. One thing is clear: future decisions could be changed by this precedence, because the sound makes the music - and the accent now too!
