Race Discrimination

Federal and some state/local laws prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of race and color.
Race and color discrimination are similar, but there are some slight differences. According to the EEOC, race discrimination includes discrimination based on ancestry as well as physical or cultural characteristics of a certain race. These may include skin color, hair texture, and certain facial features. Color discrimination happens when an individual is singled out based on their skin pigmentation, complexion, shade, or tone (for example, lightness or darkness of the skin). Color discrimination can occur between persons of different races or ethnicities or of the same race or ethnicity.
Employers may not make employment decisions based on assumptions and stereotypes about the characteristics of members of certain races, ethnicity, and skin colors. Employment decisions include pre-employment requirements and inquiries, recruitment and hiring, compensation, promotion, harassment, retaliation, and termination.

If you believe you have a potential race discrimination claim, please contact us for an evaluation.
