Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Institutional discrimination refers to discriminatory practices or policies that are embedded within institutions such as government, education or the workplace. The denial of the right to vote for Canadian Status Indians until 1960 represents institutional discrimination because it was a policy upheld by the Canadian government that resulted in a group being treated unfairly based on their Indigenous status. Option A, increasing opportunities for certain ethnic and racial groups, represents affirmative action, which is not institutional discrimination. Option B, institutional practices that arose from democratic ideas, may or may not be discriminatory, depending on the specific practices examined. Option D, the basing of institutional practices on explicitly inclusive ideals, is not institutional discrimination as it promotes inclusion rather than discrimination.
