The Sociology of Discrimination - Employment

I stumbled upon an article called "The Sociology of Discrimination" in regards to employment in the workplace. It states that in today's society, it is much harder to identify acts of racism which can pose many problems for solutions that need to be made. The article focuses heavily on measuring racism and inequality. Knowing how to measure it and identify it is the most important step of all. Once racism and its effects are identified and measured, solutions can be made. The article listed below descriptively describes how racism and discrimination can be measured!
