Southern California Employment Discrimination Attorneys
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states that
discrimination based on a person's hair type, color of
skin, or facial features (lips, nose, and eyes) is a violation
of civil rights and is against the law. If you have been
the victim of discrimination based on your race or skin
color contact a racial discrimination attorney at the Law
Offices of Terry Davis today.
Employers have strict rules regarding discrimination,
and if they violate these rules they should be held accountable
and penalized. The following acts or practices are illegal
in the workplace:
- Harassment - making insulting or demeaning jokes about
a person's ethnic or racial background, skin color, facial
features, hair type, or other race-related features
- Creating a hostile working environment as the result
of racial harassment
- Segregating employees
- Restricting an employee's chance for job advancement
or opportunity based on race
- Discriminating against an employee because of association
with people of a certain race or ethnicity
Inquiring about a potential employee's race may or may
not be considered discrimination; it depends on how the
information is used. If the information regarding a person's
race is used to prevent someone from having an opportunity
to obtain a job, it is illegal. If the information is used
to assist in an anonymous way to research employment as
related to race, no laws are being broken. Also, if the
racial or ethnic information is used to assist in affirmative
action hiring practices, no laws are being broken.
If you or a loved one has been the victim
of racial discrimination, please contact a California racial
discrimination lawyer today at the Law Offices of Terry
Davis.
