I went to a very seemingly nice jewelry store, and applied for a position there. The lady told me after I handed the application in that we are all Armenians here and That she was Hispanic. Do you want to work with us? What nationality are you? And then she looked down on the ground and said, well, you could go to the store which is a 45 minute drive from here.
Is this discrimination, and could there be enough for a lawsuit.

David, not sure what you meant by what happened at the store?
I was nice polite, dressed professionally and friendly. Not sure what you mean.

Sorry, Dave, she looked down at the ground after I said I was Caucasian, and then she said to go to another store 45 minutes away.

It is illegal for her to inquire about your race before you are hired.
You also said "And then she looked down on the ground and said,well, you could go to the store which is a 45 minute drive from here." What happened at the store?
Sounds like you have a pretty decent case. Call the EEOC
