In 2008, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received 33,937 cases of racial discrimination, 28,321 charges were resolved. In fact, the EEOC was instrumental getting $79.3 million from different employers for the people who filed race discrimination charges with the commission. This amount does not include the money that the aggrieved parties won through lawsuits.

If you feel that you are being discriminated racially at work, you need to understand that it is not at all acceptable or tolerable. You need to take steps to immediately stop this form of discrimination. You should first document the incident or incidents along with the date, time and witnesses. Then report it to your immediate supervisor. If your supervisor was the perpetrator, then you need to report to one level higher.

You should also file charges with the EEOC, who will get back to you with the permission to take legal action if the discrimination was apparent. Once you get the permission, contact a civil rights attorney to take legal action against your employer or co-worker who was responsible for it. Remember, you would have to prove the discrimination in order to win the court case. So, make sure you have something concrete to go by. Your lawyer will be able to tell you what has to be proven and what the process would be in order for you to win the case.
