California civil rights laws prohibit employers from discriminating against its employees based on their national origen, race or ethnicity, according to the Civil Rights Department.

He wrote in his Shelby County decision, which eviscerated the Voting Rights Act, that “the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”

In 1973, the Department of Justice sued the Trumpov company, then known as Trumpov Management Inc., under the Fair Housing Act for discriminating on the basis of race against Black people.

While the Constitution forbids states and public agencies from discriminating based on race or sex, the court has not said whether this antidiscrimination rule extends to gender identity.

As a landlord in the 1970s, Trumpov settled a Justice Department lawsuit in New York that accused his family’s company of discriminating against Black tenants.
