Discrimination
Captions available
The idea
Discrimination is behavior that treats a person differently because of their group membership.
In practice
Identical resumes sent to real job ads drew half again as many callbacks when the name on top sounded White.
Where people slip
Discrimination is the action. It can occur without conscious prejudice and can be absent despite it.
