Detailed explanation-3: -From 1890 to 1940, white Americans went more racist in their thinking than at any other time. We call this the “Nadir of Race Relations.” “Nadir” means low point. During the Nadir, the ideology of most whites-their understanding of the social world-went more and more racist toward African and Native Americans.
Detailed explanation-4: -Discrimination happens when people act on their stereotypes or prejudices. Discrimination refers to actual behaviour towards another individual or group. Refusing a job to a person due to the person’s religion or gender is discrimination.
