Racial discrimination is unlawful under both state and federal law. Racial Discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee differently based on race, national origin, ethnicity, and physical characteristics such as skin color, body features, or accents. Proving racial discrimination requires demonstrating that an employer treated an employee unfavorably due to their race or perceived race, resulting in tangible harm. Examples of racial discrimination include sudden changes in job performance evaluations, being passed over for promotions, changes in work duties, differential rule enforcement, or exclusion from meetings or events.
