Los Angeles Race Discrimination Lawyer

Race or color discrimination in the workplace is a rampant problem in the U.S. today. Despite the state’s strict employment laws and myriad worker rights, California is no exception. Discriminatory employers may subject workers to unfair, unlawful, and adverse employment actions simply because of their race. It is up to victims to take a stand against employers guilty of race discrimination. You could be eligible for compensation as a victim of discrimination in Los Angeles.

What Does Race Discrimination Look Like?

Race discrimination can be overt or subtle. It can come in the form of an employer only hiring people of one race or refusing to hire people of a certain race or color. It can also take the shape of excluding an employee from workplace opportunities, projects, or activities. Race discrimination can make it impossible for qualified applicants to get jobs or move up within a company. It can also cause significant harms such as lost wages, loss of career opportunities, and mental or emotional suffering. Examples of race/color discrimination include:

• Treating someone differently because of race or characteristics associated with race, including culture, physical appearance, linguistics, and skin color.
• Refusing to hire a qualified applicant simply because of his or her race or complexion.
• Treating someone unfavorably because he or she is married or associated with someone of a certain race or color.
• Making employment decisions such as hiring, firing, training, promotions, job assignments, pay, compensation, and benefits based on race.
• Making decisions based on assumptions or stereotypes surrounding a racial group.
• Creating policies that deal with people of certain races unfairly, and that are unnecessary to the operation of the business.
• Paying two equally qualified employees different wages based on race.
• Harassment on the basis of race such as racial slurs, ethnic epithets, foul language, rude comments, uncomfortable jokes, or other race-based behaviors that make a workplace feel hostile or threatening to the victim.

There are endless examples of race-related employment discrimination. The key thing to remember is that if your employer subjects you to any type of adverse employment action based on your race, it is discrimination. As soon as you suspect discrimination in any shape or form, come to the lawyers at The Law Office of Omid Nosrati for assistance.
