An Overview of Employee Race Discrimination
Unfortunately, workplace racism is still a reality for many. Employee race discrimination refers to the unfair treatment of a job applicant or employee based on race-related characteristics, such as skin color, facial features, or hair texture.
It is illegal for your employer to discriminate against you based on race, and it is also illegal to create a hostile working environment by making racially charged comments or jokes. Discriminatory employment policies or practices can manifest as disparate treatment or impact.
Disparate treatment occurs when there is a deliberate intention to discriminate. Intent can be proven with direct evidence OR with circumstantial evidence as well.
Disparate impact occurs when a seemingly neutral policy harms workers of a particular race.
These are just some of the ways employers can illegally discriminate against their employees or applicants. Employers often claim to have a valid, non-discriminatory rationale for unfavorable employment decisions, emphasizing that race played no role. That’s why having a knowledgeable racial discrimination attorney by your side is crucial.
