It is wrong for co-workers, supervisors, and other employees to engage in workplace harassment based on your perceived national origin. This includes: 1) You experiencing unwelcome comments or conduct at work (workplace bullying); 2) The harassment is based on your national origin or ethnicity; and 3) The harassment is pervasive or severe enough to alter the conditions of employment and create a hostile work environment. Isolated incidents of teasing, tasteless jokes, or insensitive remarks generally do not rise to the level of workplace harassment. Instead, the offending behavior must generally happen frequently or be extremely abusive in nature. If you are being harassed based on national origin by co-workers, or someone other than a supervisor, then you may be able to sue your employer for workplace harassment if your employer behaved negligently. This generally means that your employer needs to have known about the harassment and failed to take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the harassment.
