If an employer throws out resumés simply because the last name is not one he/she associates with "white Canadians," he/she is guilty of

A) prejudice.
B) discrimination.
C) democratic racism.
D) exception fallacy.

This is an example of discrimination because the employer is unfairly rejecting job candidates based on their last name, which is a characteristic that has no relevance to their qualifications or ability to perform the job. Prejudice refers to an individual's negative attitudes or beliefs about a particular group, while democratic racism is a concept that describes how systemic racism can be perpetuated through apparently fair and equal democratic processes. Exception fallacy is a logical error that involves basing conclusions on exceptional cases rather than on a representative sample.
