MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

2 mins • 1 pt

When I met with Mayor Geovelli, I noticed that he had the appearance of a hobo. He was unshaved and wearing dirty clothes. He spoke to me about his horrible plan to fix our city’s roads. Anyone who knows the plan will tell you that it will bankrupt our city. The plan to fix our roads mostly benefits the friends of the Mayor. He plans to pay his buddies in the construction business thousands of dollars over the next two years. I do not want to insult anyone, but the Mayor is of Italian descent, and we all know what reputation they have in this part of the country. Need I remind you of Al Capone and other Italian Mafia members? 

Calling Mr. Geovelli a hobo is an example of?

Bias

A loaded or negatively charged word

Stereotype

Assumption

One sided argument
