Answer:

RACIAL DISCRIMINATION AT WORKPLACE

Explanation:

In the above given question,we come to know that a very skilled and talanted

employee Marian is facing racial discrimination at her workplace as some

coworkers and supervisors are commenting over her lack of qualifications and unpleasant personality.The second point "unpleasant personality" is kind of a racial remark because she is a top graduate from Loyala in humanities so she is certainly does not lack any qualification.

1)Here we can say that her co-workers are completely wrong in their assumptions about Marian.

2)No Marian must nor directly confront the employees because they have not directly commented on her or said anything in person.

3)No Marian should not file a discrimination suit,

4)Yes she must first go to supervisor and talk about the situation.

5)In the workplace context, race discrimination constitutes any unfavorable treatment against a job applicant or employee, specifically because of his or her race or race-related characteristics, such as skin tone, hair texture, or facial features. Race discrimination is often coupled with “colorism”, i.e. treating an individual worse because of the color, tone or shade of their skin. This can even occur between individuals of the same race or ethnicity. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 US Code §1981, the New York State Human Rights Law, and the New York City Human Rights Law, all address employees’ rights to be free from racial discrimination in the workplace. Some examples of race discrimination at work include racial slurs, racist “jokes” or cartoons, racial stereotypes, paraphernalia like swastikas or nooses, and singing along to racist song lyrics. Also, employers who make any employment decisions on the basis of race and/or color in the workplace may be liable for race discrimination.

Answer 2

In the aforementioned query, we learn that Marian, a very talented and skilled employee, is subject to racial discrimination at work because some coworkers and managers make remarks about her lack of qualifications and unsavory personality. She is a top graduate in the humanities from Loyola, so the second statement that she has "an unpleasant personality" is somewhat racial. She also has no shortage of qualifications.

1. No, She should not quit.
2. In this case, we can say that Marian's coworkers' presumptions about her are wholly false.
3. Marian shouldn't confront the workers in person because they haven't made any direct remarks about her or spoken to her in person.
4. Marian shouldn't file a discrimination lawsuit, to be clear.
5. She must first consult the supervisor and discuss the issue.
6. In the context of the workplace, race discrimination refers to any unfavorable treatment of a job applicant or employee based on that person's race, such as skin tone, hair texture, or facial features. In many cases, "colorism," or treating someone less favorably due to their skin color, tone, or shade, goes hand in hand with racial discrimination. Additionally, companies who make any employment decisions in the workplace based on a person's color or race may be held accountable for race discrimination.
