Ah, I see what they're getting at here. Discrimination is the term that best fits the description of mistreatment based on those factors. I'll select that one.

I wonder if they had a Mandarin-speaking actor playing the 'family situations' part. Imagine the candidates trying to negotiate with a grumpy grandma. That would be hilarious and terrifying all at the same time.
