EDITORIAL LEARNING AID
Why is this answer correct?
Rejection solely because of dark skin is racist discrimination and is prohibited by Article 3 of the Basic Law and § 1 AGG. Answer c is therefore correct. Poor German (a), high salary demands (b) and lack of experience (d) can, by contrast, be objective reasons for rejection.
Rejection because of skin colour is racist discrimination.
