Christine, the CEO of NSP Consultancy, promised all job applicants that she would be fair and unbiased when she considers them for the position of an accountant at her firm. However, she confessed to her colleagues that she would prefer to hire an Asian because "they're so good at math." She also said that she would most likely not hire an African American because "she'd never met one who worked hard." In this scenario, Christine's behavior is an example of _____.

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": racial or ethnic discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Racial or ethnic discrimination takes place when one individual denies a right to other people just because of their ethnicity or race. In the corporate world, any kind of sex, race, age, nationality, ethnicity, or impairment (among others) discrimination is prohibited and is protected under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The U.S. federal agency in charge of enforcing such a rule is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
