Question

Min applies for a job as a receptionist at an accounting firm. If she is denied a job because she is of Asian origin, she may be a victim of: a. disparate-impact discrimination. b. direct-treatment discrimination. c. disparate-treatment discrimination. d. primary-treatment discrimination.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

What do we understand by disparate-treatment discrimination?

It simply refers to an act of unequal behavior towards someone because of some existing prejudices in the mind of those that commit the act. These prejudices could include false believes about the person coming in. For example a stereotype about being Asian or probably, one about being a female. So what this means is that this act is committed when an unequal behavior is shown to a person because of some characteristics possessed by the person for example gender-based or demographic considerations.

Important to note is that this act is illegal. Since it is illegal, a person feeling he had been a victim could get a court to preside over his/her issues with the said person

Answer 2

Answer:

c. disparate-treatment discrimination

Explanation:

Disparate-treatment discrimination is a form of discrimination where an employee is intentionally discriminated against someone because of a protected characteristic under Title VII of the United States Civil Rights Act.

Disparate-impact discrimination is unintentional discrimination. It is when employers makes use of a neutral rule that treats everyone equally, but has a disadvantageous effect on some people of a protected characteristic.
