Aaron, an African-American with a meritorious law degree, is hired as the first black associate at a prestigious law firm under an affirmative action recruiting program. He handles routine assignments outstandingly. After a few months, Aaron realizes that unlike the other first-year associates, he is being given less complex projects, which prevents him from growing at his job. Having asked for more challenging work, Aaron is told that the work he is being given is what is expected out of him and is appropriate for his level of experience. Aaron files a complaint of race discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). In this scenario, Aaron may have:

a basis for a claim of discrimination because he is being treated differently from others who are similarly situated and not of his race.

Explanation:

U. S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces the federal laws which prohibits the discrimination of the basics of sex, color, race, religion, ethinicity, nationality, etc on the workplace.

The Title VII of Civil Right Act protects the individuals or the employees against the employment discrimination. The title ensure that all the employees are given the same opportunities in order to grow at the workplace.

Thus, Aaron filing a complaint of the race discrimination may have the basis for claim of the discrimination as he is being treated differently.
