The situation described indicates disparate-impact discrimination, which occurs when an employment practice or policy that is neutral on its face has a disproportionately negative effect on members of a protected class. In this case, the employment test may be excluding qualified candidates who belong to the same protected class as Lew. Reverse discrimination refers to policies that intentionally give preference to members of a protected class over other applicants, and disparate-treatment discrimination occurs when an employer intentionally discriminates against a member of a protected class. Not discrimination is not a valid choice in this case as there is a potential legal issue related to discrimination.
