Forms of Racial Discrimination or Harassment

According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, there are many different forms of harassment that one can face as a result of their race or the color of their skin. Some of the most frequent forms of harassment may include the following:

  • Racial slurs
  • Derogatory comments about one’s race or the color of their skin
  • Displaying symbols that are considered racially offensive

It is important to be aware that certain isolated incidents or “simple teasing” may not be considered illegal. Generally, people can take legal action only if the incident is very serious or if the harassment is persistent and/or creates a hostile work environment. If you have been subject to any type of racially charged harassment or discrimination in the workplace, you should be sure to take your legal options into consideration.

What should I do if I’ve faced discrimination?

If you have been the victim of workplace discrimination based on your race, you should be sure to report it to either your employer or the Human Resources department for the company. However, it is important to be aware that any instances of racial discrimination will need to be documented to provide evidence of your claim. If nothing is resolved within the company, you can file a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Be sure to file your claim within 180 days of the incident. It is important that you have a skilled legal team to represent you throughout your claim.
