Human rights organizations in the US call for action on racism | Human Rights Issues

Dalit social workers, which are the lowest in South Asian cultural groups, say that violence is most prevalent in South work-related workplaces, such as in the medical profession.

Human rights activists are urging the US government to recognize that racism is illegal under existing laws, a problem that is exacerbated by the fact that technology companies are embroiled in lawsuits against South Asian workers’ culture.

Twelve groups, including the International Commission on Dalit Rights, have pressured the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to recognize that the practice of selecting formerly oppressed groups in South Asia is “a matter of human rights and social justice in the US,” according to a report submitted to the agency Monday and available with Bloomberg Law.

Racial discrimination favors racism in the US because it is all “in the best interests of the people to support the rule of law, without discrimination, inequality, without discrimination,” says the memo.

Dalit advocates, or very low-income groups, say that harassment is rampant in the workplace of many South Asian workers, such as professionals.

Cisco Systems Inc. last year he was sued by a California company on the grounds that he was discriminating against a Dalit employee because of his company. The case, set up under state law, is still pending. Apple Inc. also protects similar cases, while Microsoft Corp. said it had lodged a complaint of discrimination.

The EEOC promotes anti-discrimination laws in the workplace, including Chapter VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, nationality, or other protection.

The groups say this includes racism. But allegations of racial bias have been passed through the courts to determine whether the VII chapter or state law protects against discrimination.

“The EEOC’s recognition of affiliate and racial identity is an important and vital part of promoting human dignity, and ensuring fairness, equality and fairness in the workplace,” says the memo.

The EEOC does not have a “set of rules” on how VII issue could apply to discrimination, said EEOC spokesman Joseph Olivares, before accepting the memo.

Ongoing Cases

Corruption is rampant in South Asia, where subordinates are harassed, harassed, evicted “in secret, in public and in the workplace,” says a memo.

“Every day, in secret, many Dalit Americans face discrimination that can be addressed by American law enforcement agencies,” the groups said. “All Americans should be treated with dignity and respect at work and in every other way in their lives regardless of race or ethnicity, race or nationality or any other protected species.”

American companies, and their humanitarian organizations, are being pressured to deal with racist sentiments when they are imported by workers from other cultures.

For example, in the case of Cisco, an unnamed Dalit employee identified as John Doe is said to have encountered a violent environment at work, and received lower pay and fewer opportunities.

But not all groups agree that racism is widespread in the US

“Caste has no legal, cultural, or cultural significance in the United States, and it is not a clear or definitive fact,” said the Hindu American Foundation, a non-profit organization, in response to the group’s support for the Cisco case. The commission said California’s employment laws violated American Hindu rights.
