The Truth About Race Discrimiation

Race Discrimination is a growing issue here in the Borderland. As such, your rights as an individual need protection. A person should never be judged based on the color of their skin, their immigration status, nor their ethnicity. If that does happen, there are ways to fight it.  Lawyers are experts in the field of race discrimination. They are ready and willing to serve and protect you from all forms of discrimination. Regardless if you were denied work, access to a public space, or treated unfavorably, race discrimination should not be tolerated. The Law Office of Perry Pinon can help.

The Denial of Access

In general, race discrimination occurs when you are denied access to a job or a public area based on the color of your skin or your ethnicity. This can happen in a number ways. One way would be if you were denied a job opportunity. Often times, there can be situations between two people who are up for the same job. But one has better qualifications than the other but the latter is a person of race. However, if the more qualified one is passed over due to skin color, that person may have faced racial discrimination.

Another example would be if you were asked to leave a place of public business. This can also manifest by getting asked to leave a business simply because of your skin color. This is a more obvious form of discrimination, from which you can be protected. Whenever you are denied access to a public area, or denied a job opportunity, this is a case of racial discrimination.

Having Your Basic Rights Denied 

Discrimination can occur when you are denied basic rights based on your immigration status. Regardless of whether or not you are currently a citizen of the U.S, you have basic rights. Being denied fair treatment, simply because of your status, is not okay. Imagine being told to leave a place of business because you are not “American”. Or being told you do not deserve proper pay because you are not a “real citizen”. These statements are in violation of the law. If you have been denied fair treatment because of your immigrant status, Perry Pinon can help you.

When Someone Treats You as Inferior

To put it simply, if a person is treated as less because of their ethnicity, they are facing race discrimination. No matter what your ancestry, you deserve equal treatment. Imagine being called a racial slur, or told you are less because of your race. If you have been treated unfairly, bullied or harassed based on your ethnicity, your lawyer can help. No one should be treated as less based on their ethnicity.

Race discrimination is an ugly reminder of prejudice in the world. However, it does not have to be a burden to bear. Every person has rights according to the law. This means you do not have to put up with being denied access, employment, or fair treatment. You should not be treated differently based on the color of your skin, your immigration status, or ethnicity. The Law Office of Perry Pinon can help you in all matters of race discrimination.
