| 单词 | racial discrimination |
| 释义 | racial discrimination A situation when the way an individual is treated depends upon his or her race. In economics this can apply, for example, to employment, insurance, access to housing, or access to credit. Such discrimination is widely recognized to be unjust, economically inefficient, and often illegal. It is nevertheless widespread, and has proved difficult to eradicate, for various reasons. Some individuals genuinely believe, however irrationally, that race is correlated with characteristics such as honesty and competence. Others do not believe this, but discriminate for fear of adverse reactions by their customers or other employees if they do not. Many people find it difficult to judge the characters of people from cultures other than their own: this makes dealing with them appear risky, and risk-aversion then leads to discrimination. |
