In addition to an employer being liable for race discrimination under Title VII, the employer also can be liable for workplace racial harassment. Harassment can take many forms and claims filed with the EEOC have been increasing, particularly incidents involving nooses, the "N-word," and other racial epithets. "It is shocking that such egregious and unlawful conduct toward African-American employees is still occurring, even increasing, in the 21st century workplace, 50 years after enactment of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964," said David Grinberg of the EEOC. The display of hangman's nooses became so frequent that beginning in 2007, states began amending existing laws and passing new laws banning the display of them if it was done to intimidate. For example, Connecticut and New York amended their existing laws in 2007, and Louisiana passed such a law in 2008. to the EEOC, harassment claims have more than doubled since the early 1990s and continue to rise with race the most frequently alleged basis. As then-EEOC general counsel Eric Dreiband said, "As blatant discrimination decreases, other areas like harassment increase." African-Americans, women, Hispanics, Muslims, and those perceived to be Middle Eastern have all increasingly been victims.
