Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discrimination refers to treating someone unfairly or unequally based on their membership in a particular group. In this case, Pam excluded the Cho family from the birthday party solely based on their nationality or cultural background, which is an act of discrimination. Scapegoating, stereotyping, acculturation, and ethnocentrism do not accurately describe Pam's behavior in this situation. Scapegoating involves blaming a particular group for problems or issues that they did not cause, stereotyping involves making assumptions about a group based on a limited set of characteristics, acculturation refers to the process of adapting to a new culture, and ethnocentrism involves viewing one's own culture as superior to others.
