The WFEA covers claims of discrimination because of the race of a person with whom the Complainant associates. Much v. Les Stumpf Ford, Inc. (LIRC, 07/31/14).
The Complainant is a multiracial female. She is part black, part white, and part Native American. It was error for the Administrative Law Judge to require that the Complainant show what race the Respondent perceived her as being, or that she show that she was of a race that was obvious to others. Since the Complainant is multiracial, she could not possibly know what race the Respondent perceived her to be. The fact that she is multiracial was a possible basis for race discrimination. Raven v. Shopko Stores (LIRC, 02/28/06).
Discrimination against a person because he is engaged in an interracial marriage is race discrimination. Miner v. Blunt, Ellis & Loewi (LIRC, 05/29/91).
