Assuming that a person going to community college can't afford to go to a four-year college is an example of ) a generalization. b) discrimination. O c) a stereotype. O d) tolerance.

Stereotype

Explanation:

First let's look at the definition of the answers

Generalization: a general statement or concept obtained by inference from specific cases

Discrimination: the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex

Stereotype: a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing

It's not discrimination because there is no unjust treatment. Generalizations and stereotypes are similar (and, in fact, a cultural generalization can become a stereotype if it is definitively applied to individual members of the group), but this would be a stereotype because we assuming the actions of a specific person, not a group.

If I said 'Most people attend community college because it's cheaper,' that would be a generalization.

If I said, 'Suzy is attending community college because it's cheaper,' without any context or factual evidence, that would be a stereotype.

facts: the 14th amendment

the 14th amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws.

the 14th amendment was intended to protect the rights of former slaves after the american civil war.

the 14th amendment was approved by congress in june of 1866 and ratified by the states on july 9, 1868.

the 14th amendment establishes that all persons born in the united states are citizens and are guaranteed all the rights of citizenship.

the 14th amendment establishes that the law protects all citizens equally.

in this case the passage of the 14th amendment   that was violated was the last part in which it states that there is equal protection of the law.
