Oops. Don't know why I thought she had answered A. Sorry.
It's ok :)
Your answer, D. stereotyping, is correct. Stereotyping refers to making assumptions or generalizations about a group of people based on limited or stereotypical characteristics or traits. In this scenario, categorizing all African Americans as fast runners is an example of stereotyping.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the given statement and eliminate the other options:
A. Sexism refers to discrimination or prejudice based on a person's sex or gender. This option does not apply to the given statement about African Americans and running abilities.
B. Ableism refers to discrimination or prejudice based on a person's abilities, particularly towards individuals with disabilities. Again, this option does not align with the topic of African Americans and running abilities.
C. Ageism is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's age. This option is also unrelated to the given statement.
Hence, D. stereotyping remains as the most appropriate choice for this scenario.
