Race discrimination is against both California and federal law. Under the law, your boss may not discriminate against you because of your race in relation to any of the terms and conditions of employment. “Terms and conditions” include things such as salary, title, scheduling, promotions, etc.
“Race” is defined as a person’s ancestry or ethnic characteristics. It is illegal to discriminate against anyone, on the basis of any race or color. This also means that your boss may not discriminate against you if you are white. Discrimination based on color is also against the law. This means that an employer may not favor someone with a lighter complexion or Caucasian features over someone else. In addition, you employer may not discriminate against you because of the people you associate with. Therefore, if you are married to a person of a certain race, you boss may not treat you differently because of the race of your spouse.
Race discrimination is sadly still prevalent in the workforce. Just recently a class action lawsuit against a sawmill company awarded the plaintiff’s $5.5 million in back pay. The lawsuit centered around the assertion that the company had a long history of discrimination against Black workers. During the discriminatory period, the company would assign black workers the worse jobs and repeatedly deny them promotions. If you have also been a victim of discrimination, get help today.
