Race & Racial Harassment

Race harassment and racial harassment is very serious and very wrong.  Employees often ask, what is race or racial harassment,  what are examples, and what can I do to stop it?

As an employee, you have the right to a work environment free from race and racial harassment.  Race and racial harassment is when a work environment is offensive because of an employee’s race.  This takes many forms, and here are some examples:

1. Racial jokes;
2. Racial slurs;
3. Racial comments;
4. Racial pictures or images;
5. Racial cartoons;
6. Racial threats;
7. Racial violence;
8. Racial symbols like a noose or other hateful symbol;
9. Racial stereotypes; and
10. Offensive comments about a person’s skin color.

These are some examples.  But, these are not the only examples of race and racial harassment.
