Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Height and weight requirements that are standardized on white male candidates discriminate against people of other races and genders who may be perfectly qualified for the job but don't fit these specific physical requirements. This is a clear example of systemic discrimination. Option A, B, and C are not examples of systemic discrimination. Naming a group in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms or apologizing for past wrongs may be attempts to address systemic discrimination, but they do not constitute examples of systemic discrimination themselves.
