Racial Discrimination at Work (HR Help)

Being an equal opportunities employer means taking positive steps to prevent all forms of discrimination, including race discrimination. Below we examine the issue of racial discrimination at work, from what this means for employers trying to avoid issues arising, and how to deal with any such complaints.

  What is racial discrimination at work?

Racial discrimination at work is when someone is treated less favourably, or put at a disadvantage, because of their race. The Equality Act 2010 protects job applicants and employees from discrimination, harassment and victimisation because of race, as one of nine protected characteristics covered by the Act.

The term ‘race’ encompasses several different elements, and is effectively used an umbrella term for the following:

Colour: this refers, for example, to being either black or white, and tends to overlap with the concepts of ‘ethnic origin’ and ‘national origin’.

Ethnic origin: this usually refers to the ethnic group to which someone belongs, a group typically with its own cultural traditions and shared history that sets it apart from other groups. The group may also have a shared language, religion and geographical origin, and can be a minority or oppressed group, such as Sikhs, Jews or Irish Travellers.

National origin: this refers to someone’s birthplace, where the geographical area and its history can again be key factors here. Examples include Welsh and Scottish, although national origin can also include origins from a nation that no longer exists, for example, Yugoslavia.

Nationality: this usually refers to the recognised state of which a person is a citizen, ie; what it says in their passport, if they have one. This can be different from someone’s national origin.

A person’s ‘race’ can comprise of two or more of these different aspects. By way of example, an employee’s racial group could be a mixture of colour and nationality, such as Black South African, or they could be Black and British, but follow African Caribbean culture, customs and traditions. A person may even be a British citizen but follow the customs of the country of his or her parents.

  What are the different types of racial discrimination?

The Equality Act sets out four different types of racial discrimination at work:

Direct discrimination: where someone is treated less favourably than others because of their colour, ethnic origin, national origin or nationality.

Indirect discrimination: where a provision, criterion or practice that applies equally to everyone puts someone from a particular racial, ethnic or national group at a disadvantage when compared with others.

Harassment: where someone is subject to unwanted conduct at work because of their colour, ethnic origin, national origin or nationality.

Victimisation: where someone is mistreated because they have made a complaint about harassment or racial discrimination at work.

  Examples of direct racial discrimination at work?

Direct racial discrimination refers to overt prejudicial treatment because of someone’s colour, ethnic origin, national origin or nationality. This could involve a decision not to employ someone, to dismiss them, withhold promotion or training opportunities, offer less pay or poorer terms and conditions of employment, or deny them certain contractual benefits.

For example, an Indian student applies for a part-time job at a British family-run country pub, but is refused the role because the owner believes they will struggle to ‘fit in’ with the other staff who are all English.

Direct discrimination could also arise because of how someone’s race is perceived, regardless of whether or not this perception is correct, or because of the race of someone they associate with, such as a friend, family member or colleague. These types of direct discrimination are known as discrimination by perception or discrimination by association.

  Examples of indirect racial discrimination at work

Indirect racial discrimination at work is where you have in place a policy, procedure, rule or requirement that applicants or employees from a particular racial, ethnic or national group are less likely to be able to meet than other people, and this places them at a disadvantage.

This could involve, for example, your recruitment or redundancy selection criteria, contractual benefits or any other workplace practice. For example, an Italian graduate is turned down for an IT job for which she is otherwise suitably qualified because having English as a first language is a requirement of the job.

There are limited circumstances in which indirect discrimination may be objectively justified, but only if you can prove that this is ‘a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim’. However, this can be a difficult process, involving weighing up the needs of your business against the discriminatory effect on those employees with the race protected characteristic.

To objectively justify indirect racial discrimination at work, you will not only need to establish a good business reason for the treatment, but also show that your actions are appropriate and necessary. As such, you should always closely scrutinise whether any discriminatory provision, criterion or practice can really be justified, and try to find better and less discriminatory ways of doing things.

  Examples of racial harassment at work

Racial harassment at work is where someone is persecuted because of their colour, ethnic origin, national origin or nationality, and this has the purpose or effect of violating their dignity, or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for that individual.

This can include bullying, nicknames, insults, threats, jokes, banter, gossip, asking intrusive or inappropriate questions, excluding someone, such as from meetings or events, or ignoring them. It can also be verbal, written or physical.

For example, a French employee is regularly teased at work over her accent, and work colleagues also make jokes about her eating cheese and drinking wine when she goes for lunch. When she complains about this conduct to her line manager she is told to ‘laugh it off’.

  Examples of victimisation at work because of race

Victimisation at work because of race is where an employee is subjected to a detriment for making an allegation or raising a grievance about equality or discrimination in the workplace, and/or for supporting a complaint of discrimination or giving evidence relating to a complaint. Victimisation may also occur because an employee is suspected of doing one or more of these things.

A detriment could include anything from an employee being labelled a troublemaker to being denied training or promotion, or even dismissed. For example, where an employee is denied a pay rise because they gave evidence in support of a grievance raised by a co-worker, that grievance being that the person was called offensive names about being Asian by their line manager.

  The employer’s duty to prevent racial discrimination

An employer is under a legal duty not to discriminate against its employees, either directly or indirectly, or through harassment or victimisation. Racial discrimination does not need to be deliberate or intended. You may discriminate against someone without realising it or meaning to, but this might still be unlawful.

As an employer, you are also potentially responsible for the discriminatory acts of your staff. This means that if someone is subjected to, for example, racist remarks or conduct at work by a colleague or line manager, if you fail to take all reasonable steps to prevent this you will still be legally liable.

As such, if you treat someone unfairly because of their race, or fail to take reasonable steps to prevent racist behaviour within your workplace, you may find yourself facing a claim before the employment tribunal for unlawful discrimination. These claims can be complex and costly to defend, with the possibility that you may be ordered to pay an uncapped award of damages.

A finding of unlawful discrimination can also be extremely damaging to your reputation as an employer, and can have a profoundly negative impact on workplace morale. As such, taking positive steps to prevent unlawful discrimination is essential to protecting your business and your employer brand.

  Practical advice for employers in preventing racial discrimination at work

The following practical advice in preventing racial discrimination at work can help to minimise any exposure to costly legal proceedings and help to avoid issues of race discrimination within your workplace:

  Develop clear & robust workplace policies

By putting written policies in place on equality, diversity and dignity at work, this should help to promote a workplace culture that encourages inclusion and discourages discrimination, harassment and victimisation.

All reputable employers should have an equal opportunities policy in place, as well as a policy banning bullying and harassment, either because of race or any other protected characteristic. It is important to emphasise to your staff the need to treat others with respect, and that any allegations of racial discrimination and harassment at work will be taken seriously and can result in disciplinary action.

It is also important to foster an inclusive workplace culture in which employees feel easily able to come forward, without fear of reprisal, if they experience or witness any discriminatory behaviour.

  Review your recruitment & management practices

By reviewing your workplace practices you can ensure that these are not in any way discriminatory, leading to racial discrimination at work further down the line. This should involve carefully scrutinising your recruitment and selection processes, as well as your practices relating to pay and benefits, training and development, and selection for promotion, redundancy or dismissal.

In particular, to prevent racial discrimination during the recruitment process you should stay clear of any reference to a particular race or nationality when advertising a job role, and avoid advertising via any place or media aimed at a specific racial group. There can, however, be rare exceptions to this general rule.

This can include where you are seeking to take positive steps, for example, to boost the number of ethnic minority groups that are disadvantaged or under-represented within your workforce. It could also be where there are strict occupational requirements for a particular role, although this is rare.

  Train your managers, HR personnel & staff

By training management, HR personnel and staff on racial discrimination at work, this can help to promote equality and diversity within the workplace, and minimise incidents of harassment and victimisation.

Those with managerial and HR responsibilities need to understand the different forms of racial discrimination, how they can arise and how to deal with any incidents or complaints. They will also need to be familiar with all internal procedures, including your grievance and disciplinary procedures.

It is also good practice for an employer to provide training for all members of staff to establish a culture of respect, and provide an overall awareness and understanding of what constitutes acceptable and unacceptable behaviours. This is especially important because innocent banter, jokes and racial stereotyping can constitute some of the most common forms of race discrimination.

  Know how to handle grievances effectively

By knowing how to effectively handle grievances relating to racial discrimination at work, this can help to resolve any workplace conflict quickly and internally, minimising your exposure to a claim before the employment tribunal.

If you do receive a complaint concerning race discrimination, you must always thoroughly investigate the matter to see if there is any merit to it. You must also deal with the matter promptly and sensitively.

If the allegations are founded, you must go on to take appropriate disciplinary action against the perpetrator based on the severity of the incident. This could range from anything from a formal written warning to summary dismissal.

It is also useful to think of how any future instances of racial discrimination at work might be prevented, for example, through equality and diversity training, or a refresher training session, for all staff.

Finally, it’s important to remember that if you become aware that discrimination is taking place because of someone’s race, you do not wait until a grievance is raised. The sooner action is taken the more easily it can be resolved, and it is less likely that you will be liable for the discriminatory actions of those involved.

New Post has been published on http://www.restoreamericanglory.com/breaking-news/ny-times-its-okay-to-be-racist-against-white-people/

NY Times: It’s Okay to Be Racist Against White People

By keeping their new tech writer, Sarah Jeong, on staff, the New York Times is telling their readers that it’s okay to be racist as long as you meet two criteria: One, you’re not a white person yourself, and two, you are racist against white people. As long as you fit into that category, you can write anything you want on social media and find forgiveness at the social justice judgement table. So it is that Roseanne Barr can lose her career over a tweet that was only racist if you looked at it a certain way, but Jeong can keep her job despite a history of tweets that are undeniably, categorically racist by anyone’s definition of the term. Unless, as we said, that definition excludes the hatred of whites.

You’ve probably already seen most of these, but here’s a sampling of Jeong’s old tweets just to refresh your memory:

“Oh man, it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.”

“Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins?”

“Basically i’m just imagining waking up white every morning with a terrible existential dread that i have no culture.”

And so on.

We’re not going to get into the “we’re offended!” debate; whether or not you want to get offended over these tweets is your own business. The point of this issue is not whether people are actually offended or not; the point is that there is a double standard of epic proportions. The left has taken “racism” and made it just another political weapon. Trump gets called a racist for saying that Maxine Waters has a low IQ, a point that anyone that listens to Waters speak would be forced to agree is at least a distinct possibility. But this Sarah Jeong can say the most vile things about white people and…it’s fine. There are literally no repercussions whatsoever. That tells you everything you need to know about how seriously you should take it when someone accuses you of being racist. The word has lost all meaning.

“We hired Sarah Jeong because of the exceptional work she has done – her journalism and the fact that she is a young Asian woman have made her a subject of frequent online harassment,” the Times said in a statement on Thursday. “For a period of time she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers. She regrets it, and The Times does not condone it.”

Ah, but you do. You DO condone it, NY Times. You aren’t even being consistent with your own internal logic, because you quickly fired Quinn Norton (a leftist from left of leftyville) because she admitted that she was friends with neo-Nazis. You fired her because you couldn’t condone it. Here, you don’t condone it, but you’re going to let Jeong work at your paper regardless? Makes no sense. The only thing that makes sense is that you DO condone it and that you would be happy to have her on the payroll, spewing the same kind of anti-white nonsense to your audience of self-loathing, liberal white people.

The Failing New York Times, indeed.
