I don't know if your stepson is a racial minority, but if he is, his boss is braking the law by engaging in or allowing racial harassment.  However, your stepson made a big mistake by hitting his boss, and that would be grounds for firing whether he was being harassed or not.  But he can still make a claim for harassment on the grounds that it created a hostile work environment, etc.  The recourse for harassment is legal action.  He may be able to make a claim through a state human relations or employment agency, or through the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). You should be able to find something in your phone book or on the internet, or go to your closest state employment office for referral.

The best thing to do is to greet them, the way you would do any other customer.  Just because he is rude, doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to his level.  If he gets mad for interrupting him, then that's his problem to own, not yours!  Keep doing what you're doing.  You are an asset to your company!

Try turning the tables on them - "kill them with kindness".  This works every time.  \n\nYou can invite the person who is harassing you to lunch and calmly ask them if you have, in some way, offended them.  Continue on with "if I have offended you, I apologize - I was not aware that I had done so".  Ask the person if you can start over with a clean slate.\n\nUsually this will stop the harassment.  If it does not stop, I suggest that you document everything and when the time is right, along with the documentation, speak with your Supervisor.\n\nHave a lovely rest of the evening.

The first time an african-american friend of mine got in a racially-motivated fight, I wasn't in the room. I was in the bar, but I wasn't in the same room. I saw him getting hustled out the door by a bunch of white people, (I live in a predominantly white community) and I became concerned. \n\nApparently, somebody walked up and said, "I'm gonna kill you, ******!" and started pounding on him. He responded (admirably) by pounding harder on the other guy.\n\nBy the time I got there, Brian was outside, and there was this huge, mountain of a man, being held back by two very small women, because he had just had the **** kicked out of him by Brian. That was the night that I REALLY became friends with Brian. All I told him, was, "Next time, I got your back."\n\nLong story short, the bartender had told Brian that the cops had been called, so he allowed himself to be pushed out of the bar. I met him outside, found out what had happened, and told him, you're always welcome at my bar (the bar I usually go to, not the bar I own). We went there.\n\nThe... (I wanna say "bigot" but I'll say...) racist came back to the same bar a few weeks later (when he'd recovered) and asked Brian if he could drink there. Brian said, "It's not my bar. Ask the owners." He did, and they said, "OK." Neither one of us has been back since. \n\nIt doesn't matter who you're comfortable with, it's what you think is right. I have to think before I speak, with non-white people, but it's only to make sure I won't offend anyone. I know what's right. I grew up in a racist community, listening to racist and homophobic jokes my whole life. Thankfully, neither of my parents are racist or homophobic, so it wasn't taught to me at home. Regrettably, they knew what kind of community they'd moved me into, and thought I'd have a better shot at conforming if they kept their mouths shut and let me make up my own mind. It's a good thing for me, that I'm not easily swayed by nonsense.\n\nEven with the backwoods start I got, I know now that when I meet someone, I meet a person. Not a German, or a Russian, a Brit, a Swahili, or a Columbian. There are a lot bigger differences in people than skin color. I've met a$$holes, angels, perverts, bible thumpers, and a thousand other different types of person, that don't involve parentage in the least. \n\nUnlike most people that include non-whites in their little circles, I'm not just trying to prove that I'm not racist. I KNOW I'm not racist. I have nothing to prove to anyone.\n\nBack to your question: I'm uncomfortable around racists and homophobes. Period. I can hang with Brian because I KNOW he's not racist, and I'm pretty sure he's not homophobic, too. \n\nIf a non-white person walks into the bar, and starts being a (let's say "jerk" because yahoo doesn't like it when I swear) jerk, I'm gonna go over there and call them a jerk. Plain and simple. \n\nIt took me a lot of time to refine this "people are people" thing, (given my background) and now I'm going to be who I am. I've been accused of being a racist, because I called a jerk a jerk, but frankly I don't care what people think of me. I (and my friends) know who I am, and if they (the people who accuse me of such things) are idiots to begin with, then... I've always got Brian to back me up there.\n\nNo, I don't identify myself as being white, any more than I tell people that Brian is black (I would've said african-american, but that's HIS self-description). If I describe someone to another, I make it a point to exclude skin color.\n\nBtw, the reason it took me so long to answer, is because in my original answer (I deleted it and rewrote it) I mentioned the bar too many times, and had to go there. I'm not sober right now.

1) Stop dealing with the company\n2) Go to their website or phone their 1-800 cust serv # and tell them why.\n3) Tell everyone one of your friends, plus EVERYONE on the internet the name of the company and what they did to offend you.\n\nSo, the company won't have your money.\nThey'll probably send you coupons or a letter of apology if you give your info to the cust serv # guy.\nYou give them a black eye in advertising.

It certainly can if you have the right attorney.  Racial remarks are a form of sexual harrassment and the company, along with the person, and the supervisor can be held liable for it.  The USA has laws in place that prohibits anyone from having to work in a hostile work environment.  The first step you need to take is to contact the human resource (or personnel) department of your workplace and tell them your story.  You need to write down what was said, the date it was said if you remember, and who was, if anyone, a witness when the person said it.  If the human resource department does not do anything about this, go above their head and contact the main office.  If this option is not available to you, I would consult with an attorney to determine what the next step is you should take. \nBe sure to have with you a copy of the complaint, if one was given to you, to take to the attorney.

I think that a racist and violent email is considered harassment, which you can sue for.  If you think you are actually in danger, though, I'd notify the police.

Before you get itchy feet to sue\n\nPosting requirements vary by statute.  Not all employers are covered by each of the Department of Labor's statutes and therefore may not be required to post a specific notice.  For info on coverage and requirements you can contact the Office of Small Business Programs or check government statutes for your area.\n\nAs for the racial jokes - very inapporpriate.  Discuss this with your immediate supervisor and explain your feelings.  Also be certain to inform your Human Resources department of the incidient.  Does your company have a union?  This might be an option especially if you don't get any results from your supervisor and/or HR personnel.  \n\nYou can also contact the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission and have them check into this matter. \n\nWhatever the case - the jokes need to cease and the company can use a sensitivity training in accepting Diversity.

Didn't we go through this yesterday? What do you want - a pity card for being a racist? Not happening. Get over it. You'd be surprised at how rarely us "whiteys" really give a giant rats butt what race you are. For God's sake - most people interview for more than one position, but only someone who chooses to see themselves as a victim take it so personally. I think you expected them to hire you BECAUSE you're a minority, and now you're pissed off. Quit being a victim and take some responsibility for yourself.

Get a badge number, GO to the station,and file a report for harrassment.  IF they do not investigate it, THEN get a lawyer.  I have had a friend in this situation before and they got it solved by saying "Laywer"

Take notice of name and badge number and report him/her to superior.  A little remedial customer service is in order.

You can find a lawyer that will take your case.You should get all you information and the tapes from your Herring and do what you are thinking about.Look if you were a third generation Mexican who didn`t speak English you could get diss.for that it is an awful place this country has put its white males in.White males are scapegoat for just about every victim in this country.The only reason they do this to us is we are the last group with dignity and usually do not question authority.A white male under 50 years old has to be close to death to get diss.We are treated different than every other group.I would also go to google and search for mens groups there is a huge movement that is going to start to change things.The fems have awoken a sleeping giant and you aren`t going to have men to blame much longer.Good Luck to you! do not give up please! Go after the system.

If you have already addressed it with your supervisor and no action has been taken, I would go to the HR department.  If no HR department exist and they do not have a discrimination policy they are following, then you might want to find a lawyer soon.  \n\nThe proper order is supervisor then HR then lawyer.
