National origin is not the same as being a native speaker.  My father 
lived in Holland til he was almost 7 but his parents spoke English at 
home and he moved to the US from Holland, and English is definitely his 
native language.

Besides, if a condition can be shown as necessary for employment, one can
discriminate based on that condition.  I doubt you'd find many locker room
attendant positions that were hired without regard to gender, for example.
