What Does Race Discrimination Look Like?

Recognizing Race Discrimination

Despite significant social advances in the last 60 years, racial discrimination in the workplace is still a serious and ongoing problem. Sometimes employers discriminate against employees by treating a group of employees differently than others of a different race, which is called disparate treatment.

Other times, the problem may be that a particular person is being harassed or working in a hostile work environment. Discrimination can involve jokes or derogatory comments, racist photos or images , along with physical assault or abuse. Sometimes a bigoted remark constitutes harassment. It may also be evidence in a broader pattern of discrimination that culminates in an adverse employment action like firing or failure to promote.

Example of a hostile work environment based on race includes:

Racial slurs including use of the "N word" or “monkey”.
Racially offensive symbols such as a noose, confederate flag or a racist cartoon or drawing.
Racist graffiti and propaganda.
Threats based on your race.
Racial jokes or stereotyping.

These types of comments and actions can be made by supervisors or coworkers and happen even out of in office while at an office party or conference.

Whether the conduct is blatant or subtle, you should discuss your situation with the trusted New York City race discrimination lawyers of Phillips & Associates.
