Racial discrimination adversely impacts the well-being of individuals in the workplace. However, it is unclear what specific factors persist in terms of discrimination based on race among public employees, especially in Washington state. Using intersectionality theory, critical race theory, and social identity theory as a framework, this qualitative exploratory sociological case study involved exploring underlying factors perpetuating race-based discrimination in Washington's workplace. A singular research question guided this research: Underlying factors that perpetuate race-based discrimination in the workplace in Washington State. Data were collected from 10 workplace investigators in Washington state, archival data, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission statistics. Data were analyzed thematically and triangulated. Two overarching themes emerged from the analysis (1) difficulties in terms of developing founded race-based cases and (2) power dynamics in terms of making race-based allegations. Data showed there was a lack of concrete guidelines to serve as a basis for what constituted racial discrimination, creating ambiguity regarding what was, or was not, discriminatory. Apart from insufficient grounds for building a case, race-based discrimination cases also often entailed lack of witnesses and evidence against perpetrators. Findings highlight the need to advocate for clearer policies of what constitutes race-based discrimination in the workplace that also address more subtle forms of discrimination. Employers must work together with human resources to ensure that their organizational policies are clear and consistently implemented. By addressing these issues, social change may be facilitated, as minority employees become more protected in the workplace.
