Race Discrimination Law
Direct Race Discrimination
It is direct race discrimination to treat a person less
favourably on racial grounds than another person would be treated
in the same circumstances. As well as words or acts of refusal,
direct discrimination includes words or acts of discouragement.
Indirect Race
Discrimination
It is indirect race discrimination to set conditions or
requirements for a person to meet which may seem to apply to
everyone, but may place people of a particular racial, ethnic or
national group at an unfair disadvantage.
A racist incident is defined as any incident which is perceived
to be racist by the victim or any other person.
