Technically you’re right.
Except in the US there are about 100 ways employers can still fire you even if the underlying reason is discriminatory.
They just can’t expose the real reason in writing and they make up other reasons (or no reason at all).
Edit: and just to be perfectly clear, I don’t applaud companies who discriminate (I myself am a minority frequently discriminated against). Just pointing out the unfortunate reality that non-discrimination laws are extremely weak and ineffective in the US when it comes to hiring/firing.
