Discrimination based on race is against the law. According to both federal and California law, your employer may not discriminate against you based on your race or color in relation to the ‘terms or conditions’ of your employment. ‘Terms and conditions’ include things such as salary, vacation time, promotions, hours, etc.

‘Race’ is often defined as a person’s ancestry or ethnic characteristics. According to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 an employer may not discriminate against someone based on their racial group, perceived racial group, racial characteristics, or because of marriage or association with people of a certain race. The Act also prohibits your boss from making employment decisions based on stereotypes of a certain race’s abilities, skills, etc.
