Fresno Racial Discrimination Lawyers
Protecting Your Rights in the Central Valley
California law prohibits employers from making employment decisions based on an employee or job applicant’s race or ethnicity. This means that employers cannot engage in discriminatory practices when hiring, promoting, terminating, and/or making other employment decisions.
Despite these laws, racial discrimination remains a significant problem in Fresno and the surrounding areas. If you believe that you have been the victim of racial discrimination, it’s important that you take immediate steps to protect your rights. The attorneys at Webber & Egbert Employment Law can help.

What Is Racial Discrimination?
Racial discrimination occurs when an employer makes an employment decision based on an employee or job applicant’s race, skin color, or other racial or ethnic characteristic. This includes making decisions based on stereotypes or assumptions about a person’s race.
Examples of racial discrimination in the workplace include:
- Refusing to hire or promote an employee based on their race
- Demoting or terminating an employee based on their race
- Assigning employees to certain positions or tasks based on their race
- Compensating employees differently based on their race
- Refusing to provide employee benefits, such as health insurance, to employees of a certain race
- Refusing to provide reasonable accommodations to employees of a certain race
- Subjecting employees to racial slurs, jokes, or other forms of harassment
- Creating a hostile work environment based on an employee’s race
