Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethnic stratification or ethnic inequality is the term used for a system that distributes scarce resources on an unequal basis according to race or ethnicity. Racism refers to a belief in the superiority of one race over another, while prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. Race exploitation implies that one race is being used for the benefit of another. While all of these terms are related to the unequal treatment of individuals based on their race or ethnicity, ethnic stratification or inequality is the most specific term for a system that systematically distributes resources in a discriminatory manner.
