Racial and National Origin Discrimination IN NEW JERSEY

Battling Racial Discrimination in New Jersey with Deutsch Atkins, P.C.

Employers are prohibited from practicing any sort of racial discrimination in New Jersey. Federal law prohibits race discrimination as well. Unfortunately, this prohibition does not ensure that employers never discriminate based on such factors. It just means that the victims have legal recourse.

A Note Regarding NJ Racial Discrimination

People often confuse unlawful employment discrimination with unequal treatment resulting from other factors such as nepotism, favoritism, personality conflicts, bullying or just plain unfairness. Merely having a bad boss does not give you any legal rights related to race discrimination laws in New Jersey.

To bring a claim for racial or national origin discrimination, you will be required to establish that you received unequal treatment as the result of your race or national origin.

This can be established using direct or indirect evidence—an employer's continuous use of derogatory terms for Hispanic workers is relevant, as is consistently unfair treatment for all African American employees. However, the fact that you belong to a minority group is not enough to support a claim for racial discrimination. NJ race discrimination cases are challenging, which is why the use of an experienced racial discrimination attorney is critical.
