Race & Ethnicity Under the Law
Race is a combination of a person's ancestry, skin color, and physical characteristics. Racial harassment and discrimination can be experienced by a person of any racial group who is treated differently and unfavorably because of these characteristics. Meanwhile, ethnicity primarily has to do with a person's ancestry, including their linguistic group, religion, and traditions. Ethnic harassment and discrimination can be experienced by a person of any ethnic group who is treated differently and unfavorably because of their ethnicity.
This type of discrimination can manifest as unfair:
- Disciplinary action
- Negative performance reviews
- Refusal to provide training
- Termination
- Denial of raises and other compensation
- Retaliation
- Denial of promotions and other advancement opportunities
If you believe that you are or have been subjected to racial or ethnic discrimination, you should document your employer's actions. You should then proceed to file a formal complaint by following your employer's policies. Finally, consult with an experienced racial and ethnic discrimination attorney in Los Angeles, like ours at Hennig Kramer Ruiz & Singh, LLP. Your contemporaneous record of the events will serve as crucial evidence in any claim for harassment or discrimination in California.
Discrimination Based on National Origin
This type of harassment is based on where the employee is from, often outside of the US. It may also be founded on an erroneous perception of where the employee is from, regardless of their actual birthplace. This type of discrimination and harassment is illegal under both federal and California state laws.
We have handled all types of national origin discrimination cases, including those involving a person’s:
- Ancestry
- Language and association with linguistic groups
- Religious practices
- Cultural traditions
- Marital status
- Familial obligations
Harassing someone for their national origin, like other forms of harassment, generally occurs when an employer creates or knowingly allows the existence of a hostile, offensive, abusive, or intimidating work environment to exist. This toxic environment negatively affects the targeted employee's ability to perform their work and causes them mental distress, and in some cases, declining health.
