If you have been treated differently at work because of your race, you deserve answers and fair treatment. Our team of attorneys at Employment Rights Lawyers, APC, helps employees stand up to unlawful workplace discrimination.
What is Racial Discrimination?
Racial discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfavorably because of their race, ethnicity, ancestry, or perceived racial background. Under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), employers with five or more employees are generally prohibited from making employment decisions based on race. Discrimination can take many forms, including unequal pay, failure to hire, denial of promotions, demotions, harassment, retaliation, or wrongful termination. In some cases, repeated racial comments, slurs, or other offensive conduct can create a hostile work environment.
At Employment Rights Lawyers, APC, our attorneys help employees determine whether workplace conduct may violate California employment law or is simply unfair. We carefully evaluate the facts, gather evidence, explain your legal options, and pursue the best possible outcome. If your employer has violated your rights, we are prepared to advocate for you.

What Can I Do if I’m Being Subjected to Racial Discrimination?
If you believe you are being treated differently because of your race, ethnicity, or ancestry, start documenting what is happening. Save emails, text messages, performance reviews, and any other records that may help show a pattern of discriminatory conduct. If appropriate, report the issue through your employer’s internal complaint process and keep copies of any complaints or responses. Detailed documentation can be valuable if the situation continues or worsens.
