What Does Race Discrimination In The Workplace Look Like?

1. What Does Race Discrimination In The Workplace Look Like?

2. Race discrimination is prevalent in the workplace, though most employers do not make it obvious that they are discriminating against a worker or applicant. According to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), race discrimination “involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because he/she is of a certain race or because of personal characteristics associated with race (such as hair texture, skin color, or certain facial features).” During the latest reporting year in the United States, the EEOC brought nearly 24,000 charges of race discrimination against employers across the country. These charges made up approximately 33% of all charges brought by the EEOC. Federal law also protects workers from being discriminated against or being treated unfavorably because they are married to or associated with a person of a certain color, race, or ethnicity. It is also illegal to discriminate against somebody based on their national origin or the status of their immigration or citizenship if that person is legally allowed to work in the United States.

3. How Does This Discrimination Show Up? Racial discrimination shows up in the workplace in a variety of ways, and the person who has been discriminated against often does not even realize it. Federal and state laws prohibit discrimination based on race when it comes to various aspects of employment.
