In all dealings, which type of discrimination should be guarded against?

• A. Racial
• B. Economic
• C. Personal
• D. Religious

Answer: (A)

Guarding against discrimination in all dealings rests on the truth that every person bears the image of God and deserves fair, unbiased treatment. Among the options, racial discrimination is the form most consistently condemned and must be opposed in every setting. Racial bias undermines dignity, violates the call to love our neighbor, and disrupts unity in the church and in the broader community. While other biases—economic, personal, or religious—are harmful and should be avoided, racial discrimination sets the baseline we are to reject everywhere, at all times, in all interactions. Addressing it strengthens justice, equality, and the church’s witness.
