Racial Discrimination Attorney

Racial harassment can take many forms in the workplace. The following are some examples:

• Verbal harassment of a racial nature, such as offensive jokes, remarks, or name-calling
• Physical harassment, such as touching you in an offensive or unwanted manner
• Subjecting you to offensive pictures or objects, such as a noose
• Offensive emails

A single remark may not be considered harassment under the law. However, if the conduct is severe or pervasive to the point that it creates a hostile environment that interferes with your work performance, it may be considered illegal racial harassment.

You should never allow a work problem to linger with the hope that it will go away. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has specific deadlines, after which you will lose the right to file a harassment or discrimination claim.
