What Does Racism Look Like in the Workplace?

Race discrimination can arise in various forms, sometimes making it challenging to distinguish between legitimate concerns and misunderstandings. Whether it's a claim of overt harassment, perceived biases in hiring or promotions, or company policies that are claimed to have disproportionate effects on certain racial groups, it’s important to carefully evaluate each situation. Our firm has experience representing clients involved in race-related workplace concerns, including:

• Harassment and Hostile Work Environment. This can involve conduct that is perceived as unwelcome or offensive due to race. For example, repetitive racial jokes or slurs could create a work environment that some may find intimidating or hostile, even if unintended.
• Disparate Treatment. Claims of being treated differently due to race, such as in hiring, firing, promotions, or job conditions, can arise. For instance, an employee feeling they have been passed over for a promotion could suggest disparate treatment, but these claims need a thorough investigation to determine the facts.
• Disparate Impact. Sometimes, neutral company policies may be alleged to disproportionately affect certain racial groups. For example, a company might implement a dress code that inadvertently excludes cultural attire, impacting specific racial groups more than others. A thorough analysis is needed to determine whether such policies have unintended consequences and whether any legitimate business justifications exist.
• Retaliation. If an employee believes they are being punished for reporting racial discrimination, it may constitute retaliation. However, it's essential to evaluate if the employer's actions are based on legitimate reasons, such as documented performance issues or policy violations, while ensuring compliance with anti-retaliation laws and employment regulations.
