Answer 1

institutionalized discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously, Daniellas act points directly to institutional discrimination as she made a choice to only rent her apartment to a certain set of individuals (whites) and decoded against renting it to all other race like in the case of Rita who is Asian. Institutionalized discrimination implies unfair and discriminatory ill treatment of an individual or group of individuals by society and its institutions as a whole, through dissimilar selection or bias, intentional or unintentional; as opposed to individuals making a conscious choice to discriminate. Sociologists point to institutionalized discrimination as one of the primary process through which things like racism and sexism continue to flourish.

Answer 2

b. individual discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

b. individual discrimination is one of the type of discrimination whereby an individual unjustly treat another individual through bias or intentional decision. This discriminatory actions towards another could be as a result of unfounded opinion about the person or the country he or she comes from.

In the case of Danielle, the owner of the apartment, her action is an example of an individual discrimination by her refusal to rent a room to Rita just because she is an Asian woman.
