Sara doesn’t think she is racist, but her friend Emily pointed out that she tends to avoid communicating with other ethnicities. What type of racism is Emily noticing?
  1. Traditional
  2. Laissez-faire
  3. Aversive
  4. White privilege
  5. Old-Fashioned
Explanation
Answer: C - When Emily points out that Sara avoids communicating with other ethnicities, she is noticing aversive racism. This type of racism is subtle and has stayed at the same level when other forms of racism have decreased. Old-fashioned or traditional racism is more obvious as it is heralded by openly racist actions.
