Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scapegoating is the act of blaming a certain group of people for one's problems or misfortunes. In this case, Bob is blaming blacks and Latinos for his inability to find work, rather than examining other factors such as his own qualifications or the state of the job market. Discrimination and racism both involve negative actions or beliefs towards a certain group based on their race or ethnicity, but it is not clear from the given information that Bob has acted on these beliefs. Projection involves attributing one's own feelings or qualities onto others, which is not the case here.
