NEW YORK RACE DISCRIMINATION LAWYER FOR ALBANY, SARATOGA, GLENS FALLS AND MORE
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the New York State Human Rights Law, make it Unlawful to Discriminate against someone on the basis of Race or National Origin.
Race discrimination, like other types of discrimination, can take on several different forms. Victims of race discrimination often come to us stating that they have repeatedly complained to a supervisor about inappropriate racial comments from co-workers, to no avail. Or they will tell us that their supervisor has been making inappropriate comments about their race or national origin, in front of co-workers, thus demeaning them and ensuring a lack of respect from those other co-workers.
Employers often attempt to minimize the types of behavior described above, as having been minor or made in a "joking" manner. What they often fail to understand, however, is that the impact of such actions can be severe on the victims. Too often clients have come to us because they have felt like they had no where else to turn, and their complaints were simply being laughed off.
We take these complaints seriously. Race discrimination is not a laughing matter, and often employers fail to take any action under a claim has been filed with the EEOC or New York State Division of Human Rights.
