Racial discrimination in the workplace happens when an employer discriminates against an employee because of their race, skin color, or their marriage to or affiliation with a person of a different race or skin color. Racial discrimination includes discrimination based on the employee’s personal characteristics associated with a specific race like hair texture, skin color, certain facial features, or complexion. Federal and California laws prohibit employers from racial discrimination in any area of the employment process including wages, work assignments, benefits, or other employment terms and conditions. If you have been racially discriminated against by your employer, consult with a Racial Discrimination Attorney.
