Group of answer choices illegal intentional past-in-present mean-spirited

Answer 1

Answer: Past-in-present discrimination

Explanation: Past-in-present discrimination is the type of discrimination  practice that is being done at present time which reflects the consequences of the preferential treatment of deliberate discrimination that took place in past events.

The case mentioned in the question about the minority groups not be able to own the home ownership is the practice that is extracted from the past events that happened with minority people in U.S.

Other options are incorrect because illegal discrimination include not legal in terms of law, intentions discrimination is done on purpose  and mean- spirited includes mean intention for discrimination.
