When laws and regulations are applied inconsistently and discriminatorily against members of a protected class, this is known as “disparate treatment.” Disparate treatment, for instance, occurs when an employer purposefully denies a worker an employment chance.
Disparate treatment is considered a basis for a civil rights violation to be upheld in court under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Even in the workplace, discrimination on the basis of race, gender, national origin, or religion is prohibited by this law. Although most states cover sexual orientation, federal states do not. The covered groups include women, immigrants, and minorities. In court, many people who do not belong to privileged groups&mdashlike men and members of the majority caste&mdashwill claim that they have been treated unfairly.
