Bill Broker prints an office policy that says he requires a security deposit of "$350 for whites and $500 for blacks" in his area, since he has records to prove that "blacks have weaker financial qualifications." Is this an acceptable policy?

Answer:

No. It is discrimination to set different deposits on the basis of race

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrimination is the act of making distinction between people on the basis of race, group, or class to which they are perceived to belong.

It is unfair and prejudicial treatment of people who share a certain trait.

Examples of such traits are race, age, sexual orientation, and gender.

In the given instance Broker requires a security deposit of "$350 for whites and $500 for blacks".

This is discrimination on racial grounds
