REVERSE DISCRIMINATION
A new form of discrimination now seems to exist in the workplace.
Reverse discrimination is a term that describes laws and
policies that favor certain minority groups, whether racial
or sexual, over another group historically seen as more
dominant, such as white males. In these cases, employers do
not take into account the actual qualifications of a
potential employee, only the race or sex.
This results in the overlooking of qualified applicants that
apply for certain positions, promotions, and even higher
education due to their race, which Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act prohibits. According to Title VII, it is unlawful
to discriminate against an employee because of ethnicity,
religion, sex, or race. This includes non-minorities.
Many believe that “Affirmative Action” is a form of reverse
discrimination, as it gives preferential treatment to
individuals based on their race. This is a form of racial
discrimination, and according to the law, affected
employees, regardless of their race or gender, need
protection from unfair treatment.
Although it is not common, reports indicate that
non-minorities file at least 20% of the discrimination
complaints.
If you truly believe that you
are a victim of reverse
discrimination in the workplace
and you believe that your
job rights have been violated you have the right to file a
charge of discrimination. This is a required step
before you are allowed to file a discrimination lawsuit.
