Better answer. Only for employers who have employed 15 or more employees for more than the last six months - about 40% of US employers - race can never be a factor.

How should discrimination in the workplace be dealt with?
Some would claim that it should be left entirely alone unless it is illegal discrimination. Most workplace discrimination is lawful or required. If there is strong evidence of race, sex, religious, age or disability discrimination, complain internally first. The employer MUST investigate and must eliminate illegal discrimination if it is found. Retaliation is illegal. Complaining to government is slow and ineffective, useful only as a step to a lawsuit at your own expense.
Are employers required to hire minorities?
No law requires that. Employers all hire who they wish. For the 25% of US employers large enough to be subject to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, there must be no evidence that hiring reflects discrimination by race, sex, religion age or disability. For jobs requiring high levels of education, an employer may have an all-White workforce, while giving no evidence of illegal discrimination. If I employ 100 physicians and only 3 are Black, there is no evidence of illegal discrimination.

Is it against the law to not hire someone that filed for bankruptcy?
No, otherwise all bankrupt people would be employed at jobs they are totally not qualified for. Like "Brain Surgeon" or "Nuclear Weapons Technician." I don't think it's even illegal to not hire someone who is otherwise qualified, if they filed for bankruptcy and another equally qualified candidate did not. Or at least, it would be very hard to prove that was the reason. Discrimination for certain reasons, like race, religion, place of origin, etc are illegal. Discrimination for financial reasons is NOT illegal.
