People are protected from being discriminated against based on their race. The law also protects those people that are associated with those in this protected class. As a result, the protections against race and color discrimination extend to persons associated with a member of the protected class. If employers failure to hire an individual was motivated by the individual's interracial marriage, then discrimination may have occurred.
