Discrimination based on race is prohibited both by federal law and state law. Both Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Pennsylvania Human Relations Act prohibit an Employer from discriminating against someone based on their race in their terms and conditions of employment. Race Discrimination is based on the color of your skin and can be because you are viewed as black, white, african american, indian, korean, asian, chinese, hispanic, mexican, etc. There are two types of employment discrimination that can occur based on an employee’s or potential employee’s race.
First there is disparate treatment. In a disparate treatment discrimination case an en employee is directly subjected to discrimination because of their race. In this type of case an employer is treating the employee differently than the other workers because of that employee’s race. If an employer fails to hire, promote, give a raise to or give other perks to an employee because of that employee’s particular race than the employee would be in violation of both state and federal law.
Disparate treatment would also include hostile work environment discrimination. This would be a situation where an employee of a particular race is constantly being ridiculed, teased or harassed about his race by his employer or other co-workers and after complaint the employer fails to improve the work environment.
The second type of racial discrimination that can occur in the work environments is disparate impact. Here the employer is not directly or intentionally trying to discriminate against a particular employee because of his or her race but the specific rule or policy that is in effect inadvertently has a discriminatory impact against a particular race. If you feel that you have been a victim of race discrimination then you need action and you need justice.
