Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Race discrimination is when an employer treats an individual unfavorably because of their race or because of personal characteristics associated with race (such as hair texture or skin color). In this scenario, if QuickMoney chooses not to hire Mr. Thomas solely because he is African-American, they have engaged in race discrimination.
