Under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act, race, religious creed, national origin, disability, pregnancy, sex, sexual orientation and age are considered "protected groups." California Government Code §12940, et seq.
Discrimination and harassment against a protected group comes in many forms: Derogatory comments; making fun of or teasing; being passed up for promotion or demoted because of your race, religious creed, national origin, disability, pregnancy, sex, sexuality and age; treated differently than similarly situated employees; and retaliated against after complaining to supervisor or management of perceived discrimination and harassment.
