Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States,
there have been many incidents of discrimination, including hate crimes,
against Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, Sikh Americans, South-Asian
Americans, and individuals perceived to be of Middle Eastern origin.
The Civil Rights Division urges you to report incidents of discrimination.
If you think you or someone you know has been discriminated against,
please follow these links for more information about reporting the discrimination.
Other Federal Offices
also enforce laws that prohibit discrimination in employment, housing,
education and modes of transportation, such as airplanes, and investigate
hate crimes and intimidation.
