Abstract

Abstract Racial discrimination may occur in many ways. Blatant refusal to provide goods, services, employment, or housing on grounds of race is most familiar, but many more subtle forms of discrimination are common. Racial steering is one such subtle form of racial discrimination involving housing. Racial steering typically occurs as real estate agents and brokers act to preserve and encourage patterns of racial segregation. When an individual or family comes seeking housing, an agent may illegally offer only options in a neighborhood already dominated by the individual’s or family’s race. The customer is not offered housing in neighborhoods dominated by other races. Racial steering violates section 1982 of the Civil Rights Act of 1966 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968.
