If you are being singled out and held to a higher standard
and/or receiving adverse treatment because of your race, that
is prohibited discrimination. You should avail yourself of
any policy your employer has that dictates who you should
report discrimination/harassment to. If that does not remedy
things or there is any retalliation for making an internal
complaint, then your next stop is the EEOC. Of course you
may wish to consult with a civil rights attorney at any step
along the way.
