You Are Interviewing African American Employees at Predominately White Companies

Question 27

Multiple Choice

You are interviewing African American employees at predominately White companies. One of your participants says that they have never experienced any prejudice from any of their coworkers in this or any other job. Familiar with the sociological research on race relations in the workplace, you have a hard time believing this. What is the most appropriate way for you to respond?


A) "Nobody has really ever treated you differently because of your color? Are you sure? Maybe you're just too used to it to notice."
B) "Well, the rest of my questions were going to be about your experiences of prejudice, so if you haven't had any, I guess I don't have any more questions for you."
C) "Most of my other participants have had a lot of experiences of prejudice. Why do you think your experience is so different from theirs?"
D) "The research on race relations in the workplace documents that it is super common, so I have a hard time believing that. I mean, are you saying that the research is wrong?"
