racial discrimination in layoffs is illegal
if it can be demonstrated that the company intentionally targeted asians for layoff, this is illegal discrimination. it is not so clear whether those who cannot work mandatory overtime cannot be targeted. the employees should talk to an attorney experienced in employment law. if you are in southern california, please call me for a consultation.
