Race Discrimination in the Workplace

It has been more than 40 years since the U.S. Congress passed Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits race discrimination in the workplace. Despite more than four decades spent equalizing employment opportunities, race discrimination is still a reality for many African-American workers, as well as workers of other races and ethnicities who are discriminated against on the job because of their race.
If you believe that you have suffered unlawful race discrimination on the job, it is important to get legal advice as soon as possible. You have a limited period of time in which to file a formal legal complaint against your employer.
Also, if you suffer race discrimination but are still employed, get advice from an employee rights lawyer in order to respond in a way that best protects your job and your rights if you later face retaliation for making a race discrimination complaint.

What Does Race Discrimination in the Workplace Look Like?
Race discrimination can rear its head in many ways. In general, race discrimination occurs when an employee suffers a negative employment action because of the employee's race. Race discrimination can be present in any of the following aspects of a job:
- Terms and conditions of employment; for example, different employee benefits or work rules for employees of different races
- Failure to hire
- Failure to promote
- Termination
- Differing application of progressive discipline policies or attendance policies
