Question 979 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Which example illustrates a person experiencing systemic bias?

Answer

Matteo, originally from Italy, is praised by his friends for his cooking skills and recipes, which are traditionally Italian.

Carlos, originally from Mexico, is invited to come to his friend’s Cinco de Mayo celebration.

Svetlana, originally from Russia, is asked to translate a Russian text to help a high school student in her neighborhood.

Priya, originally from India, is denied her request to view a house for sale in a mostly White neighborhood.

Explanation

Systemic bias occurs when unfair practices or patterns in an institution or society disadvantage people because of traits such as their race or ethnicity. Priya is denied the chance to view a house in a mostly White neighborhood, which suggests discriminatory treatment in housing. The other examples describe positive or neutral interactions, not exclusion.
