You're mistaken. Only protected classes are immune from hiring discrimination, and accents are not included. Virtually every white collar job advert in the United States used to include the phrase "No Jews". And many more included "No Negroes".

Whether or not the government intervention which drove societal change is "insane PC mentality" is a matter of opinion.
