Challenges and Solutions in Combating Color and National Origin Discrimination
Color, as opposed to race, refers to the color of one’s skin. Even if discrimination is alleged against a member of the same race, the color of one’s skin might be used as a foundation for a lawsuit. “Race” is a broad term that refers to groups of people whose ancestry or ethnic features can identify. On its face, “national origin” refers to “a person’s birth country or, more broadly, the place from whence his or her ancestors immigrated.” Employer guidelines mandating employees to use English at all times in the workplace may constitute national origin discrimination. According to the lawsuit, they may even create a hostile work environment for non-English speakers or workers who prefer to converse in a foreign language on the job. Furthermore, discrimination based on a person’s dialect or clothing regulations against ethnic apparel may be grounds for a claim of national origin discrimination.
Impermissible Race and Origin Discrimination
Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or national origin occurs when individuals are treated differently due to factors such as their birthplace, physical appearance, or ancestral background. This type of discrimination often intersects and carries varying interpretations depending on individuals’ perspectives and experiences. It encompasses biases rooted in racial, ethnic, and national identities, leading to differential treatment and unequal opportunities.
- Employer rules requiring employees to speak English at all times while on the job may constitute discrimination based on national origin.
- Employer rules preferring one ethnic group over another.
- Providing preferential treatment to one ethnic group over another.
- Using derogatory or negative language about an employee's race, ethnicity, or national origin.
- Racism in employment is illegal even if the person is wrong about the victim's race.
How do I know if I was discriminated against because of my national origin?
It is not always easy to tell if you are being discriminated against in the workplace. Most workplace discrimination is subtle or never admitted openly. Employers are generally aware that outward discrimination could expose the employer to a lawsuit. However, there may be signs of discrimination because of your national origin. Improper questions during an interview or application process may be a sign of potential national origin discrimination violations.
