Orange County Racial Discrimination Attorney

What is Racial Discrimination?

A simple way to determine whether or not racial discrimination is present in the workplace is to determine if there has been mistreatment of someone based on their race. It seems like a simple definition for a very complicated issue. If you have experienced this you understand that it’s very troubling and can impact your life tremendously.

Sometimes racial discrimination is obvious but other times it’s tricky to identify. Some workplaces may not even understand that the way they run things is inherently discriminatory against specific races. It might be so ingrained in their being and ways of doing things that they don’t know how badly they are violating other people’s rights. That does not excuse their behavior and it is not a reason for you to think that you shouldn’t bring a claim. You should always reach out to our Orange County racial discrimination attorney to determine how you can proceed with legal action. We take this issue very seriously.

A lot of people hesitate to report that they’ve experienced racial discrimination for various reasons. They might fear being fired or demoted. Please know that you are protected from retaliation from your employer. They can’t fire you if you bring up racial discrimination that they were guilty of. To break the pattern of racial discrimination at this workplace, it is important to bring these cases right away so that we can show this liable party their behavior is no longer going to be accepted.

Workplace Examples of Racial Discrimination

A blatant claim of racial discrimination in the workplace is if an employer decides not to hire someone because they aren’t white or because they are a specific race that they aren’t keen on. If a hiring manager with a team of interviewers decided that someone with apt experience and good references wouldn’t be someone who could fit in because of their race, that is workplace racial discrimination.

Another example would be someone working in a company, such as a sales person who puts in the work and has a great job performance and is up for a promotion, but during the process of their managers deciding who should be promoted, they decide that they’re not comfortable with someone of their race being a leader of the team. This is another blatant workplace discrimination issue. Not every case of racial discrimination in the workplace is going to be as obvious as this. Some of them are subtle and hard to identify.

A more subtle form of racial discrimination in the workplace would be if all of the sudden all of the female workers were required to keep a straight or wavy hair style which would not allow a black employee to wear natural hairstyles, such as braids or an Afro, because it doesn’t look professional. Prohibiting someone’s natural hair could be a form of racial discrimination. If something feels off to you, it probably is.

We urge you to get in contact with our Orange County racial discrimination attorney if you feel that something even just might possibly be racial discrimination but you aren’t sure. It’s better to know your rights than put up with a workplace that is violating your rights and will continue to do so.

Helping People Like You Get Justice

It is an unfortunate but unsurprising fact that most cases in the country for discrimination are those that are based upon race according to the EEOC. Back in 2017, there were over 28,000 cases filed, which wouldn’t include even the California state claims that we handle. It’s a large number of the actual cases in the country and it’s far too high. There are far too many people experiencing what you were experiencing right now. We are dedicated to bringing you and our community justice if they have lived through racial discrimination in the workplace.

We know that employers tend not to want to interview employees who have names that are not white-sounding. If they can suspect that this person who they would ask to walk into an area would be black and they don’t bring them in for an interview based solely on this fact, they need to be held accountable. They don’t give anyone a chance whose name they cannot immediately pronounce or whose name they aren’t familiar with or whose name they didn’t grow up around.

Statistics have shown that people who don’t have white-sounding names but use a white sounding nickname on an application were more likely to hear back about the position that they applied to.

There are also statistics that prove that people who are not white make substantially less money, even if they start a position with the same experience as someone who is white.

Unfortunately, it is still challenging for Orange County racial discrimination attorneys to prove that an employer behaved in a way that was discrimination based on someone’s race. This is despite all of the evidence and history. We know that you might be feeling helpless and that you are in a bleak situation, but our attorney is deeply dedicated to the success of your case. We care about you as a person and your rights and your justice. We fight fiercely for you and we do not back it down.
