Question

Jen is Korean American and works as a receptionist. Whenever an Asian client is in the

office, her boss asks her if she will sit in on the meeting to help translate. Just because she is Asian, she is expected to be able to communicate with any Asian, regardless of what language they actually speak. Jen’s experiences are an example of:

a. racial identification
b. multiracial miscommunications
c. ethnic assumptions
d. microaggressions

I am not sure if its a or d can some one help me with this question ?

Answer 1

The answer should be B.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is C: Ethnic assumptions.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ethnic group is a category of people who share similarities in terms of language, history, society, and culture. In the situation proposed, ethnic assumption refers to idea of supposing a person is capable of doing something correctly because of their ethnicity. Although Jen is Korean-American and may speak Korean perfectly. The fact that she's part of an Asian ethnicity group, does not mean she's able to speak all the languages of Asian countries.
