Discrimination refers to the behavior or actions that deny opportunities and resources to members of a particular group due to their membership in that group. Prejudice refers to attitudes and beliefs about a group, while racism specifically involves beliefs and actions based on the belief that certain racial or ethnic groups are superior or inferior to others. Situational ethnicity refers to the ability to choose or emphasize different ethnic identities in different situations, while symbolic racism refers to the use of coded language and symbols to express racist attitudes. Therefore, discrimination is the most fitting answer in this context.
