Asian discrimination is a type of race discrimination that usually affects Asian-Americans that live in America. Since Asian-Americans are the fastest growing minority in the United States, the issue of Asian discrimination has been a substantial issue. Asian discrimination usually refers to unfair treatment that is taken upon a person because of his/her Asian race or origin. This type of discrimination occurs most commonly in employment, education, housing, credit, voting, or arrest.

As all types of race discrimination are, Asian discrimination is unlawful under the Civil Rights Act, and those found to violate the laws may be subject to legal consequences. If the actions have been taken on the sole basis of race, unlawful Asian discrimination has occurred, meaning the victim can file a lawsuit to seek resolution. To begin filing an Asian discrimination violation in court, a discrimination lawyer or other professional may need to be consulted. In some states, there may be civil rights agencies that offer additional protection, sometimes at no charge, for victims facing Asian discrimination or other forms of racism.
