Race Discrimination

Fighting for Equal Treatment in Workplaces Across Southern California

No one should ever be judged or denied opportunity because of their race or ethnicity. At KF Law, we represent employees in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California who have faced racial discrimination in the workplace.

If you’ve been harassed, denied a promotion, wrongfully terminated, or treated unfairly because of your race, national origin, or color, our experienced California employment lawyers are here to help you stand up for your rights and demand justice.

What Is Race Discrimination in the Workplace?

Race discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfavorably based on:

  • Race or skin color

  • Ethnic background

  • National origin

  • Cultural identity

  • Hair texture or protective hairstyles

Discrimination may be direct or subtle, and it can affect hiring, job assignments, promotions, pay, work environment, and termination decisions.

California law also protects you from retaliation if you speak up about or report race discrimination.

Examples of Race Discrimination in Los Angeles Workplaces

  • Racial slurs, jokes, or offensive comments in the workplace

  • Being passed over for promotions despite equal or superior qualifications

  • Unequal discipline compared to employees of other races

  • Discriminatory dress codes or grooming policies targeting Black or Latino workers

  • Hostile work environments tolerated by supervisors or HR

  • Being wrongfully terminated while less-qualified peers remain employed

  • Retaliation after filing a complaint with HR or the EEOC

If you’ve faced any of these issues, we can help you take legal action.

  • Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 – Title VII
