A Kansas property manager receives two equally qualified applications. They approve the white applicant and reject the Black applicant without a non-discriminatory reason. This is most clearly:
ADisparate impact discrimination
BDisparate treatment (intentional) discrimination based on race✓ Correct
CSource of income discrimination
DAge discrimination
Explanation
When similarly qualified applicants are treated differently based on race or another protected characteristic, this is disparate treatment — intentional discrimination that is a direct violation of the Fair Housing Act.
