Description

Color discrimination, being treated differently because of your skin tone or complexion, is real, and it is distinct from race discrimination even when the two overlap. Many people do not realize they can name it specifically.

These four (4) samples illustrate how to write your particular charge in various contexts:

1 Pretext + Comparator Sample
1 Pretext Only Sample
1 Comparator Only Sample
1 Retaliation Sample

You will get real-format example charges for color discrimination, structured the way the EEOC expects and written the way a seasoned employment attorney would frame them: a clear sequence of events, concrete facts, and language that captures why the treatment was unlawful.

Study them to learn the structure and detail that make a charge credible. They are illustrative, educational example, not legal advice and not a form to file as written. Because a Charge of Discrimination is sworn under penalty of perjury, your own charge must be truthful and reflect your own experience in your own words. See how it is done, then tell your story with confidence.
