CIVIL RIGHTS CLAIMS
Race Discrimination
Both state and federal statutes prohibit employers from basing employment decisions or conditions on race. Most claims in regard to race discrimination are those which allege that an employer treats one race differently than another, either on an individual or a group basis.
Race discrimination cases also include racial harassment which may include repeated racial slurs, an employer's tolerance of unfair conditions or circumstances and generally offensive behavior toward either an individual or a group of individuals on the basis of race.
