Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mary's refusal to wait on black customers is an act of discrimination, which refers to the treatment or unfavorable actions toward individuals based on their membership in a certain group. Prejudice refers to the attitudes or beliefs one holds towards a particular group, while stereotyping refers to the act of making assumptions about individuals based on their group membership. Intersectionality refers to the interconnected nature of social identities, such as race, gender, and sexuality, and how they impact experiences of discrimination and oppression.
