Atlanta Racial Discrimination Attorney
Both the Anti-Racial Discrimination Act of 1981 and Title VII Anti-Discrimination Act prohibit employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, and sex. This includes discrimination in all aspects of employment, such as hiring, firing, pay, promotion, and job assignments.
Under both statutes, it is illegal for an employer to make decisions about an employee’s job based on an employee’s race. This means that an employer cannot refuse to hire someone because of their race or pass them over for a promotion because of their race. It is also illegal for an employer to treat employees differently based on their race, such as by giving them different pay or benefits, or by subjecting them to different working conditions.

- Q) How do I know if I have a claim of race discrimination?
- A) Race discrimination occurs when an individual is treated unfairly because of their race or because they are perceived to belong to a particular race. If you believe that you have been the victim of race discrimination in the workplace, you may have a claim against your employer.
To determine whether you have a race discrimination claim against your employer, you should consider the following factors:
- Protected characteristic: Federal law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race. If you are being treated unfairly because of your race, or because you are perceived to belong to a particular race, you may have a race discrimination claim.
- Adverse action: To have a discrimination claim, you must have suffered some type of adverse action because of your race. This could include being fired, demoted, or passed over for a promotion because of your race.
- Non-discriminatory reason: Your employer may try to justify the adverse action by offering a non-discriminatory reason for it. To have a discrimination claim, you must be able to show that the real reason for the adverse action was your race.
- Comparators: To strengthen your case, it can be helpful to show that similarly situated individuals who are not of the same race as you were treated more favorably.
