Fair Housing
In Alaska, the fair housing protected class of 'color' is distinct from 'race' because it:
AProtects persons based on their specific skin tone regardless of racial classification✓ Correct
BApplies only in states that have not adopted race protections
COnly covers discrimination against non-white persons
DProtects only persons who have been misidentified by their race
Explanation
While race and color often overlap, 'color' as a protected class specifically refers to discrimination based on skin pigmentation or complexion. This means a person of the same racial group could discriminate against another person of the same race but a different skin tone — which would be color discrimination.
