Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the examples listed represent instances of employment discrimination. Satchel Paige was held back from pitching in the major leagues due to racial discrimination, women were often limited to lower-paying and less prestigious jobs as typists or secretaries, and the belief that certain jobs were only appropriate for women (such as clerical work) perpetuated gender discrimination.
