discrimination in housing  

Definición

  • Housing discrimination refers to differential treatment in the sale, rental, financing, or insuring of housing based on race or any of a number of other ascribed characteristics. Housing discrimination, especially on the basis of race and ethnicity, became commonplace in the United States during the first half of the 20th century, and during that period, such discrimination received institutional support from the federal government, from state governments and state courts, and from real estate industry associations.
