FAQ
There are even times when discrimination takes place without prejudice or stereotyping, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination often go hand-in-hand, but it is also possible to have one without the others. When an ethnic group is stereotyped with a neutral or positive attribute such as "family-oriented," prejudice and discrimination may not be involved.
Prejudice refers to negative attitudes towards a group, not based on facts. Discrimination, on the other hand, involves harmful actions against minorities, acting on prejudice.
How to Reduce Prejudice Gaining public support and awareness for anti-prejudice social norms. Increasing contact with members of other social groups. Making people aware of the inconsistencies in their own beliefs. Passing laws and regulations that require fair and equal treatment for all people.
Evidence takes several forms. It includes your testimony, which is the very first evidence gathered by EEOC. It also includes written materials such as evaluations, notes by your employer, letters, memos, and the like. You will be asked to provide any documents you may have that relate to your case.
For example: If you hold an opinion that women do not like to travel in their jobs and, for this reason, you do not select a woman for a job requiring travel. You have committed a discriminatory act (based on your prejudice); this is unlawful.
Prejudiced nondiscriminators are those who hold racist beliefs but don't act on them, such as a racist store owner who serves minority customers. Prejudiced discriminators include those who actively make disparaging remarks about others or who perpetuate hate crimes.
However, discrimination is a state of mind and, therefore, notoriously hard to prove. Sophisticated employers are well aware that discrimination is illegal. Thus, most cases are established through circumstantial evidence.
Consulting with your attorney regarding the details of your particular situation and the value your claim may have is, therefore, always an important step to take prior to filing any lawsuit. The average settlement for employment discrimination claims is about $40,000, ing to the EEOC.
