Document Summary
Discrimination- unjustified negative or harmful action toward a member of a group simply bc of his or her membership in that group. People who are members of disadvantaged groups have much more difficulty finding housing bc of discrimination. Landlords were most likely to claim that the accommodation was unavailable when the caller mentioned that she or he had aids. She was currently staying at a women"s shelter, the landlord was nearly 10x more likely to say that the accommodation was not available. Aboriginal tenants were more likely than white tenants to experience discrimination in the form of unfair evictions and demands for sexual favours from landlords. The same academic record received a lower placement recommendation when it contained info that the student was of aboriginal. Those who were homophobic expressed less commitment to and less willingness to help, students who were non-heterosexual. There were more articles about and more photographs of male players than female players.
