MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from SR v. Moore, No. 2:14-cv-2725 JAM AC (PS) (E.D. Cal. 2015):

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 2000e, et seq., prohibits employers, employment agencies, and labor unions from discriminating on the basis of, among other things, race or color. See 42 U.S.C. 2000e-2. Title VII prohibits both intentional discrimination (known as "disparate treatment") as well as, in some cases, practices that are not intended to discriminate but in fact have a disproportionately adverse effect on minorities (known as "disparate impact"). Ricci v. DeStefano, 557 U.S. 557, 577 (2009).
