The homeowner's association in Snowhill meets every third Tuesday at 10:00 am over brunch to discuss matters of the neighborhood. This group is mostly run by nonworking mothers who are available at this time of day. They decide that the neighborhood will once again participate in the annual Christmas parade, not taking into account the religious practices of newer members of the community. When
some people complain, they are called unneighborly and accused of not supporting the children. What discrimination theory explains the perpetuation of prejudice towards those who chose not to participate in the parade?
a. Internal colonialism theory
b. Institutionalized discrimination theory
c. Interest theory
d. Zero-sum theory
B Correct Answer: Institutionalized discrimination theory
Feedback for Correct Answer: This theory describes institutional policies and practices that have different and negative effects on subordinate groups. Since the homeowner's association is controlled by non-working neighbors, they make the decisions for the entire neighborhood and do not offer a voice to those who cannot be at home for the meetings.
