What Is Workplace Racial Discrimination?
Workplace racial discrimination happens when someone is treated unfairly because of their race, ethnicity, or national origin. It doesn’t have to be obvious—subtle patterns of mistreatment or exclusion, like being left out of meetings or passed over for assignments, can also break the law.
Examples of Racial Discrimination at Work
- Racially offensive jokes, slurs, or comments
- Being denied promotions, raises, or training because of race
- Unequal discipline or wrongful termination
- Segregation or isolation of employees of color
- Company policies that unfairly affect one racial group
Your Rights Under the Law
You’re protected by laws like:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
- New York State Human Rights Law
- New York City Human Rights Law
These laws prohibit racial bias in hiring, pay, job duties, promotions, and firing. They also protect you from being punished for reporting discrimination. If your rights have been violated, I’ll guide you through the legal process and fight for a fair result.
