Multiple Choice

Which of the following is not a characteristic of discrimination as defined in the material?

Discrimination is about treating people differently because of characteristics or group membership, driven by bias. The ideas of prejudice toward a group, denying opportunities based on category, and making judgments based on bias all describe that biased, unequal treatment. Treating individuals equally regardless of characteristics does not reflect discrimination; it represents nondiscrimination or fair treatment—the opposite of discriminating. So the statement about equal treatment is not a characteristic of discrimination.
