Racial discrimination is the untoward action or attitude towards a person whether it is subconsciously or consciously manifested that undermines a person's worth based on their skin color, heritage, etc. Racial discrimination happens as an individual or as a group or even a company. It is not a minor issue as it comprises a large portion of the complaints that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission receives, a group that handles cases regarding inequality in the work place.

Institutional and individual racial discrimination are quite different to a certain degree. An institution might discriminate an individual by race because of prerecognized assumptions of their mental capability, morality or their sexual preference, which in itself is another form of discrimination. These institutions believe that these racial differences can affect work performance and work attitude in the office, of which there is little evidence to support it.
For individual discrimination, racial discrimination is a serious hindrance to work performance and efficiency. Most of the workers who have a severe grudge against people of other race would take their time off just to harass the said individual. This is a serious attitude problem that should be addressed immediately by the company or else it could pose a great threat to the victim himself.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees against discrimination based on their race and on their skin color, as well as several other factors regarding racial difference. Companies that have at least fifteen employees under them are covered by the law, as well as those by the state government and local government officies.
The law prohibits the denial of equal treatment and equal rights as well as opportunities for people of the minority, especially with conditions regarding their race, racial features, association to someone of the minority, or marriage to someone of the minority. Stereotyping and assumption of abilities due to race and skin color can count as a form of discrimination and is covered by the law. There is no rule that exempts any race from the protection provided by Title VII.
