There are many scenarios in which racial discrimination may arise in the workplace. Some examples include being refused employment, denied promotions, suffering harsher disciplinary actions than co-workers of a different race, being paid less for performing the same job or equal work, and even being fired. All of these examples are prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This amendment to the Act also makes it illegal to create or tolerate an environment that employees of a particular race feel is hostile or to implement policies that have a distinct impact on employees of a certain race.
