Racial discrimination has no place in any workplace. Yet many employees in Hamilton Township still face unequal treatment based on race, ethnicity, or skin color. Whether it comes in the form of unfair hiring practices, biased promotions, or hostile comments, racial discrimination is not only unjust—it’s illegal. If you’ve experienced this kind of treatment, it’s important to know your rights and how to take action.

What Is Racial Discrimination at Work?

Racial discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfavorably because of their race or characteristics associated with race, such as skin color, hair texture, or facial features. This can include:

  • Racial slurs, jokes, or comments
  • Unequal pay or denied promotions based on race
  • Segregation in work assignments or departments
  • Disciplinary actions applied more harshly to minority employees
  • Retaliation for speaking up about discrimination

Legal Protections in New Jersey

Employees in Hamilton Township are protected by both federal and state laws, including:

  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – Prohibits racial discrimination in any aspect of employment
  • New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) – Provides strong statewide protections against race-based bias and harassment

These laws not only make racial discrimination illegal—they also protect you from retaliation if you file a complaint or participate in an investigation.

What Should You Do If You Experience Racial Discrimination?

If you believe you’ve been subjected to racial discrimination, you should:

  • Document incidents with dates, times, people involved, and what was said or done
  • Save relevant emails, performance reviews, and written communications
  • Report the behavior to your HR department or supervisor
  • Consult an experienced employment lawyer to explore your options
