As far as a "clear case", I am not so sure. The letter is a bit off with a smug remark, but not so sure that is a legal case material.

Yeah, it does seem that the hiring manager didn't show good judgement to put it in writing and expose the company to public humiliation. That's a good lesson to all to be more careful what you say in an email, as it takes2 minutes to take a photo and post on twitter.

Also interestingly. What do you mean by the term "non native"?

@Vaulk , it's racist because the guy is Chinese. That is a different race. The discrimination in this case is considered iagainst immigrants, non-Englsh speakers, and is racist. If the guy would be mexican then I would agree with you that it's not racist (as Mexicans are not a separate race).

The racism case is more about how he said, he clearly made fun in this guy for not being able to speak english.

Allow me for a moment to question your logic here.
So let's say I'm white (As some Vietnamese are) and I was born in Vietnam, this means that I'm not White, instead I'm Vietnamese? If I understand you correctly, your geographical location or citizenship equals your race? I cannot follow this logic. I'm afraid that your citizenship (Vietnamese) can not under any circumstances determine your Race...ever...it's not possible and defies all logic.
Secondly, the email is derogatory no doubt and completely rude and could even be considered insulting...but it's not Racist.
Example: German immigrant enters a business to apply for a job but can barely speak English and what he can speak is heavily influenced by an unmistakable German accent that makes it even more difficult to understand him. The hiring manager sends him a reply email along the lines of "If you can't sprekenzie English, you don't getenzie job". Now this is really rude and is definitely a stab at this guy's manner of speaking...but is it Racism? The simple answer is no, it actually has nothing to do with Race and everything to do with bad manners and a bad attitude towards ESL people. Could you say that the hiring manager was Racist against...Germans? IS German a race? No...it's not.
So I'd like to pose my argument here that this isn't a case of Racism because the rude comments of the hiring manager had nothing to do with anyone's race and instead were targeted at mannerisms of speaking...which cannot in any way, shape or form be attributed to Race. There is no Race of people that all speak one way or the other, that all speak one language or all speak with one accent.
Summary: Mocking someone's accent or inability to speak adequate English to obtain a job is not Racist...it's just really really rude and inconsiderate.

However the comment about sending him home shows an animus towards immigrants. That is not an acceptable basis for rejecting someone for a job. At the very least the HR manager showed poor judgement and nationalist field antipathy towards immigrants.

To my mind anyone who disputes this is being intentionally disingenuous or is themselves not a native English speaker.
If you wish to dispute this, please provide an alternate meaning for the phrase's usage in the email.

anyways,
I don't believe this is racist, but instead just disrespectful. Insulting someone for not knowing English isn't racist. Speaking English has nothing to do with race.

It's open for debate, but I believe he meant the negative tone.
We know that he is a different race (picture, combined with the fact that his is from Vietnam), we see that the HR person pokes at him for not speaking english, and we see that lawyers are willing to take this case pro bono. I think it's a pretty good case, not to mention that even the company fired the guy.
