What constitutes racial discrimination?
Racial discrimination is the illegal treatment of an employee or applicant differently because of his or her race or color. In addition to prohibiting discrimination, laws also prohibit harassment based on race or color. Harassment includes racial slurs, racial jokes, offensive remarks based on race, offensive comments based on race, drawings or pictures that portray people of a certain race in an unfavorable light, threats, intimidation, hostile demeanor, or physical violence.
