The Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned discrimination in employment on grounds of race or sex. Employers were forbidden to refuse employment or to fire someone because simply they don't like the color of that person's skin or other reasons based on race. Since then protection has been extended. In practise employers who want to discriminate can sometimes find other excuses.
