RACIAL
DISCRIMINATION
In California, it is illegal to discriminate against you because
of your race or color. FEHA and Title VII protect against
discrimination in work place on basis of race or color. Call
our San Diego Employment and Racial Discrimination Attorney
to know more about your rights.
Race -
Race is interpreted broadly to mean classes of persons identifiable
because of their ancestry or ethnic characteristics.
Race and
color
Race and color, while often considered synonymous, are distinct
concepts. Both are listed separately as protected categories
in Title VII and FEHA. Thus, although such claims are rare,
the color of one’s skin - as opposed to his or her race
- may form the basis for a discrimination claim, even if alleged
against a member of the same race.
Title
VII also prohibits employment decisions based on stereotypes
and assumptions about abilities, traits, or the performance
of individuals of certain racial groups.
Racial
Harassment – Likewise, your employer may not make racial
epithets, slurs, or jokes directed towards your race. Racial
Harassment is no joke. Call our San Diego Employment and Racial
Harassment Attorney to know your rights.
