Ethnic Discrimination
When an employer discriminates, harasses or fails to provide equal pay, protection or
opportunities based on the national origin, birthplace, culture, voice accent or
name of an employee, there appears to an unlawful prejudice against that individual.
If a person is hired due to the same racial attribute, this may also be considered
ethnic discrimination.
Many times, ethnic discrimination occurs because an employer has had an unfavorable
experience with a past employee, co-worker or associate that shares the same racial
or social qualities. Regardless, ethnic discrimination is a violation of civil rights
within the United States.
