One way to avoid discrimination, in the public work force, is to start your own business, and when your hire, do so based on qualifications. For several years now, United States law has prohibited businesses from assessing or placing judgment upon employment prospects due to gender, race, ethnicity, creed, religion, political affiliation or even a handicap (in certain settings and situations). As a result, people in the employment arena or those attempting to enter it, feel safe and assured that they will always be treated honestly, respectfully and fairly. So, if one doesn’t get a particular job, it is assumed that it must be due to sound reasons that are relevant to the position and its particular set of qualifications.

Not necessarily so. Discrimination is alive and thriving in businesses all over, and in many cases, those who adhere to discriminatory practices do get away with it. To them specifics unrelated to the job or its qualifications actually do make a difference. For example, entrepreneurs with a sexist bent are liable to hire, promote and encourage those of their own gender; or white supremacists business owners are likely to pass over African American professionals with impressive backgrounds for white prospects with little or no experience and spotty records. And many Christian human resource executives tend to overlook atheist co-workers, regardless of performance, experience or attitude.

It’s all about preferences, likes and subcultures. The “we” vs. “them” mentality still dictates behavior in many business environments. Legal trouble is avoided due to the burden of proof placed on the job seeker and the justifications from the employer. Those who face the discrimination have the right to sue or press charges, but this is generally difficult because the power of evidence falls on them and is usually impossible to produce.

Another type of discrimination that is all too common is sexual harassment, especially that of male-toward-female. This is self-explanatory, and is almost always an uncertain legal minefield.

Many people criticize Affirmative Action, because the program ensured favoritism and success to minorities on the basis that they are minorities. No matter what is justified, if treatment is not based on a person’s qualifications, then there is discrimination.

No matter how hard the legal system cracks down on discrimination in the workplace, there will always be unfair treatment because of human interest and the power of money. So, go ahead. Start your own business or home business and avoid the pitfalls of discriminatory practices.
