WHAT WE DO

Race/Ethnic/National Origin Discrimination

It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against a person based on his or her race, ethnicity, or national origin

Racial, ethnic and national origin discrimination refers to treating someone differently because of where they were born, the way they look, or because of their heritage. Race, ethnicity, and national origin discrimination, often overlap, and can carry different means to different people.

Race generally refers to an individual’s physical characteristic, such as a skin color, hair color, and facial features. Examples include referring to people as black, white, red or yellow.

Ethnicity generally refers to an individual’s cultural characteristics. National origin generally refers to the individual’s birthplace or the birthplace of their ancestor. It also refers to physical, cultural, or linguistic characteristics associated with a national origin group; marriage to or association with a national origin group; and/or tribal affiliation
