Racial Discrimination
California law strictly prohibits discrimination based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, or ancestry.
Understanding Racial Discrimination
Racial discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfavorably because of their race, skin color, ethnicity, national origin, or ancestry. It can also include discrimination based on characteristics associated with race, such as hair texture, hairstyle, or facial features.
Examples of Racial Discrimination
- Refusing to hire or promote qualified candidates based on race
- Paying employees differently based on race
- Making racial slurs, jokes, or offensive comments
- Creating a hostile work environment based on race
- Disciplining employees more harshly based on race
- Segregating employees by race
- Discrimination based on accent or language
- Retaliation for reporting racial discrimination
