Race Discrimination Lawyer in NYC & NJ

Discrimination can manifest in various forms, including harassment that goes beyond casual jokes and offensive comments. It must reach the level of being “severe and pervasive,” requiring the affected individual to take action, such as filing a complaint. Some behaviors are inherently offensive, like displaying a noose in the workplace to intimidate an African-American employee.

In cases of employment discrimination, direct evidence, such as discriminatory comments in emails, recorded messages, or social media posts, is preferred but not mandatory. Courts acknowledge the difficulty of obtaining direct evidence, given the sophistication of employers in concealing illegal motives. Circumstantial evidence can suffice to demonstrate that discrimination likely motivated a termination.
