Southern California Race Discrimination Attorneys
According to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
it is illegal to discriminate against any person due to
his or her national origin or orientation, meaning an individual
cannot be discriminated against because of where they were
born. If you have been discriminated against or harassed
in the workplace due to your national orientation, you
should contact a California national origin discrimination
lawyer at the Law Offices of Terry Davis immediately.
It is illegal to discriminate or harass a person due to
any of the following factors:
Ancestry or heritage
- Association with persons from other countries
- Culture
- Language spoken from an individual's native country
- Place of birth
- Relationship with a culturally based organization
Although national origin discrimination is not the same
as racial discrimination, many employees are the victims
of both forms of discrimination. Some examples of national
orientation discrimination and harassment that may occur
in the work place include:
- Repeatedly jokes about a person's accent
- Employment policies which promote the hiring of U.S.
citizens only
- Giving preferential treatment to U.S. born employees
- Hostile working environment due to a person's national
origin
- Not hiring or promoting a person due to his or her
accent
- Not hiring or promoting a person due to his or her
country of origin
- Racial slurs
If your employer has discriminated against you because
of your national origin, your civil rights have been violated.
As a victim of discrimination you have the right to file
national orientation discrimination charges against your
employer, and may be able to recover monetary compensation.
If you or a loved one has been the victim
of national orientation discrimination, please contact
a California national origin discrimination lawyer today
at the Law Offices of Terry Davis.
