Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of customer discrimination, as the fan interest and subsequent demand for the white player's performance drives up his value in the market, leading to higher pay. The employer and employee do not have a direct role in this scenario, and statistical discrimination does not apply as there is no systematic bias based on characteristics such as race or ethnicity in determining pay.
