He asked if I could stay another hour, and I said no. He said I wasn't reliable enough, and that I'm fired.

It's statistically probable you're in an at will state that can fire you for any reason as long as it isnt discrimination.

So, google your state laws instead of going to ce.

You cannot get fired for refusing voluntary add hours.

what's interesting is that unless you've got a tape of the person screaming that you're the wrong age/race/gender for the job then its going to be impossible to prove you were fired because of discrimination and not because they think your hair looks stupid.

That's what I mean. Like, how the hell do you prove it unless the bossman is blatantly careless in his/her words and actions?

It's federal law

Under federal employment discrimination law, employers generally cannot discriminate against employees on the basis of race,[1] sex[1][2] (including sexual orientation and gender identity),[3] pregnancy,[4] religion,[1] national origin,[1] disability (physical or mental, including status),[5][6] age (for workers over 40),[7] military service or affiliation,[8] bankruptcy or bad debts,[9] genetic information,[10] and citizenship status (for citizens, permanent residents, temporary residents, refugees, and asylees).[11]

Though like monkmith stated, it is extremely difficult to prove.

This isn't an exaggeration. I live in an at-will state and at one time I was almost fired because someone in management didn't like that I used hairspray.

That's the point too. They intentionally massage everything ambiguous to undercut the civil rights laws
