Race Discrimination and Means to Oppose It

Pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is considered unlawful to discriminate against any applicant for employment or any employee by reason of his/her color or race in regard to hiring, promotion, job training compensation, termination, or any other condition, privilege, or term of employment. The same Title also prohibits employment decisions based on so-called stereotypes and assumptions about traits, merits, abilities, skills or the work performance of certain racial groups.

Furthermore, Title VII also bans both intentional discrimination and neutral job policies which disproportionately exclude minorities. Such prohibited behaviors constitute what in legal parlance is called race discrimination.

In addition to aforesaid, equal employment opportunity is mandated to not be denied by reason of any of the following: marriage to or association with those belonging to a different/ a certain race, association with or membership in ethnic based groups, and/or participation or attendance in educational institutions or places of worship generally correlated with certain minority groups.

If you have been discriminated against by an employer, labor union or employment agency when applying for a job or while on the job because of your race, you may file a charge of discrimination with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
