That is certainly up to you and is a practical question for which you will need to consider things such as your financial situation, options for a new job, etc. However, I can tell you definitively it is not unlawful to discrimination against you because you are "from the north." It may not be fair, but it clearly is not unlawful. Therefore, a complaint that you have been discriminated against on that basis will not be a protected activity. You can only file with the EEOC if your claim is based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, age 40 or older or in regards to certain genetic information.
