Signs Of Racial Discrimination In The Workplace

You may be facing racial discrimination if you are:

• Receiving unfair performance reviews compared to colleagues of different races.
• Receiving derogatory comments or racial slurs from your supervisor, coworkers, customers or other people within your organization.
• Being excluded from meetings or opportunities based on your race.
• Facing disproportionate disciplinary actions compared to colleagues of a different race.
• Noticing a pattern of racial disparities in hiring or promotions.
• Experiencing isolation or segregation in work shifts, seating arrangements, assignments or other facets of your job.

Sometimes, these signs can be blatantly obvious. In other cases, they can take time to notice and require careful attention to detail and thorough documentation.

How Does A Racial Discrimination Claim Work In Albany, New York?

If you believe that you or a coworker is facing racial discrimination, you can do the following to build a strong claim:

1. Log incidents of racial discrimination. Make sure to include dates, times and descriptions of each incident.
2. Compile physical evidence of racial discrimination. Whether it’s in an email, workplace messenger app or in physical writing, any of these can help you build a solid claim.
3. Collect statements from witnesses who may have seen or experienced the same type of discrimination you have.
4. File a report with your manager or the human resources department. If they have a specific reporting procedure for racial discrimination, make sure to follow it.
