Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disparate impact, also known as adverse impact, occurs when a seemingly neutral practice has a disproportionately negative impact on a protected group. It focuses on the outcome or result of a practice, rather than intent or motivation. Disparate treatment, on the other hand, refers to intentional discrimination against individuals based on their protected characteristics such as race, gender, religion, etc. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in employment. Stereotype discrimination involves using stereotypes or assumptions about a group to make decisions that result in unequal treatment. None of the given options accurately describe stereotype discrimination.
