Scenario: Working in Real Estate
You have been working as a realtor for a large real estate firm. Your first clients are a couple looking for a home to accommodate their growing family. Before spending the afternoon showing your clients potential homes that meet their needs, you meet with your boss, the head of the residential division. Your boss advises you to remove from your list a home in an urban neighborhood that he says is in an area that is not the “white, middle-class” kind of neighborhood suitable to your clients. You are a bit surprised because your clients expressed interest in seeing this particular house, and the boss’s racially charged suggestion makes you uncomfortable. You wonder how often the boss or other company leaders discourage realtors from showing homes to clients from racially diverse neighborhoods.
