Race Discrimination

Race Discrimination Lawyer in Tampa, FL

The ability to earn a living is one of the most basic rights. Both federal and state laws prevent employers from discriminating against employees, or potential employees, on the basis of race, color, or national origin. Race discrimination is more than just skin color. It also includes dialect, accent, hair texture, and facial features.

Race discrimination occurs when an employer makes a hiring, firing, or promotion decision based on a person’s race, skin color, or national origin. The law requires employers to treat all employees, and potential employees, equally when making those decisions. In fact, an employee may be entitled to money damages if an employer has improperly based a decision on the employee’s race.
