Introduction Racism is a topical problem in the present-day world since it undermines the quality of life of ethnic minorities. Despite the attempts of UK lawmakers to stop racial discrimination in the workplace by requiring organizations to increase diversity among employees, this issue is still present in the country (Kamasak et al. , 2019). This research paper provides the background of racism in the UK, particularly in the area of employment. Further, it presents and discusses the results of the interviews with two female respondents belonging to ethnic minorities who experienced racial discrimination at work. Finally, the conclusion summarizes the paper and provides recommendations for further studies. Background Globalization has allowed the working-age population to move from country to country in search of employment more freely than ever. However, in an attempt to find a job or during the working process, employees belonging to ethnic minorities frequently encounter the consequences of racism. Overall, racism means “the ideology that makes use of essentialized phenotypical, biological and sometimes cultural difference to express and reinforce these inequalities” (Kamasak et al. , 2019, p. 108). Workers belonging to a particular ethnic group are subject to racial discrimination when they experience the excessive negative influence of policies or treatment within an organization (Kamasak et al. , 2019). In the UK, ethnic minority groups generally include Black and Asian ethnicities. Racism in the UK has a long history that is traced back to the era of colonization. Although colonialism contributed to the economic growth and the establishment of trade relationships between people, it also divided ethnic groups and set them against each other, thus creating a racial order (Kamasak et al. , 2019). Even though the present-day UK positions itself as a multicultural country that fosters equity, its racist history still influences many areas of life (Kamasak et al. , 2019). The consequences of racism in the workplace include lower wages of members of ethnic minorities and their underrepresentation in leadership positions (Kamasak et al. , 2019). The UK legislation tries to address these issues, for example, by adopting the Race Relations Act 1965 and the Equality Act 2010 (Kamasak et al. , 2019). However, ethnic minorities still experience racial discrimination in the workplace. Aims The UK struggles against racial discrimination and paves the way to equity and inclusion in the area of employment. Nevertheless, racism is an issue that is difficult to eradicate without complex measures. The first objective of this research was to investigate the perceived experiences of women belonging to ethnic minorities from workplace racial discrimination. The second aim was to discuss these experiences and the impact of racial discrimination on members of minority groups. Method The design of this study was qualitative research using structured interviews. Qualitative research is an appropriate research method for studies not involving numerical measures and intended for gaining an insight into human phenomena. Therefore, the use of this method for the study designed to understand human experiences is justified. Structured interviews allow for the consistency and fairness of treatment of the responders because they are asked the same questions in the same manne
