The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces employment law, notes that racial harassment occurs when unwelcome conduct creates an offensive, intimidating, or hostile workplace and unreasonably interferes with your work performance. Racial discrimination occurs when you are discriminated against based on your ancestry or the cultural or physical characteristics of your race. Companies that have 15 or more employees who have worked at least 20 calendar weeks must abide by U.S. employment laws. If your company isn’t large enough to fall under EEOC law, you might still have some protection under your state’s anti-discrimination laws.
