The homeowner's association in Snowhill meets every third Tuesday at 10:00 am over brunch to discuss matters of the neighborhood. This group is mostly run by nonworking mothers who are available at this time of day. They decide this year that the neighborhood will participate in the annual Christmas parades, not taking into account the needs or religious practices of other members of the community. When neighbors resist participating they are called unneighborly and accused of not supporting the children. What discrimination theory explains the perpetuation of prejudice towards those who chose not to participate in the parade?

Explanation: This theory posits that certain group(s) of people are being intentionally discriminated against on the bases of their religion, race, color, sex or origin.

This applies to those who chose not to participate in the neighbourhood Christmas parade as they are being treated badly or prejudiced because of their personal belief or need, and most important to note is that the discrimination is intentional by the perpetrators.
