Question

when alexander, who is white, drives his car over the speed limit, a police officer lets him off with a warning. when christopher, who is hispanic, drives his car at the same speed as alexander on the same road, the officer gives him a ticket, even though his record is clean. which of the following concepts does this example best depict? intersection theory white privilege the social construction of race affirmative action question 8 2 pts the term segregation is defined in the text as: the deliberate annihilation of a targeted, usually subordinate, group. the integration of diverse cultural concepts into a public school curriculum. the physical separation of two groups, particularly in residence, but also in workplace and social functions. the process by which a minority individual or group takes on the characteristics of the dominant culture.

Explanation:

• White privilege: This concept refers to the societal advantages that white people benefit from beyond those commonly experienced by non - white people. In the given example, Alexander (white) gets a warning for speeding while Christopher (Hispanic) gets a ticket. This shows an unequal treatment based on race, which is a manifestation of white privilege.
• Intersection theory: Deals with the interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, and how they create overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage. This example mainly focuses on race - based privilege rather than multiple intersecting identities.
• The social construction of race: Argues that race is not biological but a social category created by society. While race is a social construct in general, the example is more about the privilege associated with being white rather than the construction of race itself.
• Affirmative action: Refers to policies that take factors including "race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or national origin" into consideration in order to benefit an underrepresented group. This is not relevant to the unequal treatment shown in the example.

For the second question:

• The deliberate annihilation of a targeted, usually subordinate, group: This is the definition of genocide, not segregation.
• The integration of diverse cultural concepts into a public school curriculum: This is related to multicultural education, not segregation.
• The physical separation of two groups, particularly in residence, but also in workplace and social functions: This is the correct definition of segregation.
• The process by which a minority individual or group takes on the characteristics of the dominant culture: This is the definition of assimilation, not segregation.

Answer:

First question: White privilege
Second question: The physical separation of two groups, particularly in residence, but also in workplace and social functions.
