Still in our times, the battle against racial discrimination is yet far from being settled. This is very much evident on the large number of job discrimination cases which were filed in courts across the United States and most especially in the state of California. Typically, equal employment rights and opportunities should be handed down to everyone regardless of his race or color and his association to a certain ethnic group.

“I am deeply disappointed of my employer. He terminated me from my job recently. I have done nothing wrong. Is it a great deal for him if I belong to a different race? What should I do now? How can I support my family’s needs? Who would dare to rescue me from this terrible situation?” These were some of the questions I heard my friend ask who believed that he has been wrongfully terminated from work. Our conversation prompted me to conduct a study about the law which prohibits employers from firing their employees on the sole basis of their race or color – the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
