Answer:

Statistical discrimination

Explanation:

Statistical discrimination is a form of discrimination that occurs when a person who is in charge of making a decision <u>uses observable characteristics of an individual as a proxy for other unobservable characteristics that are indeed relevant.</u> In other words, <u>the person who makes the decision makes it based on stereotypes</u> to fill the lack of information he/she needs.

In this example Mandy Morrison graduated from a school which is not known for the high quality of its graduates and she is not hired at Gigantic Health Cooperative. However, she is more qualified than the average graduate of American medical schools.

We can see that the person in charge of the hiring <u>based his decision on some observable characteristics (the school she graduated from) rather than on relevant characteristics such as how qualified Mandy was for the job.</u>

Thus, this is an example of Statistical discrimination.

slamgirl [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

As there are no options attached to this question, we can assume that the Black Codes and Jim Crow laws were born as a result of both slavery and racist policies to restrict the rights of black Americans after the Civil War.

After the Civil War and as part of the Reconstruction, radical Republicans approved the passing of the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution that granted political and civil rights to African Americans. But the southern states did agree at all with that decision and established the Black Codes to limit the rights of black people. Later, the Jim Crow laws were a series of legislations that authorized racial segregation in southern states. This produced many confrontations between blacks and whites.
