Glossary

An action or decision that results in the unfair or negative treatment of a person or group due to conscious or unconscious prejudice, bias, or stereotypes. Discrimination can occur intentionally or unintentionally and often reflects unexamined privilege that favors one group over others based on differences such as race, color, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, place of origin, creed or religion, age, physical or mental ability, marital or family status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, social condition, and political belief or activity.
