What is inadvertent discrimination at home care service?
It would basically be any way that someone (a member of staff etc) disadvantaged someone without intending to do so. So, for example, if there were male and female patients, and only a male nurse was available who would not take female patients to use the toilet, this would be inadvertent discriminant.
What was the impact of African Americans and Mexican Americans fighting discrimination?

How were minorities discriminated against in the military?
Minorities in the military faced systemic discrimination through policies that enforced segregation and limited opportunities for advancement. African American, Hispanic, and other minority service members were often assigned to lower-ranking positions, received inferior training, and were segregated into separate units. Additionally, they experienced racial hostility and were frequently denied access to benefits and resources available to their white counterparts. Despite their contributions, these service members often returned to a society that continued to marginalize them, reflecting broader societal inequalities.
Racism is offensive to the other human. It's not okay to insult someone because of the color of their skin. Just because you see it as acceptable because it's not harming you doesn't mean that it isn't harming the other person.

What caused the Ursuline Convent to be burned to the ground in Charleston Massachusetts?
The cause was prejudice. Unfortunately, in the early years of the United States, there are many examples of bigoted actions, some more violent than others. In this case, in 1834, an angry mob of Protestants, who feared and hated Catholics, set the convent on fire and burned it to the ground.

Why do some Europeans hate Arabs?
Most Europeans do not hate Arabs, but there is a certainly a minority of Westerners who do. This answer discusses exclusively these negative opinions:
1) Islamic Terrorism: In the European context, the Madrid Train Bombing on 3-11, the London Train Bombings on 7-7, the murder of Theo van Gogh in the Netherlands, and numerous smaller terrorist attacks were also perpetrated by Arab Islamic Terrorists in European countries. This makes the Europeans fearful about further and more common attacks. Rather than express regret for the loss of life and condemnation of the attacks, a sizable minority of Middle Eastern clerics remained neutral or claimed these events as "a victory against the West". Additionally, surveys have shown that many Muslims (including Arabs) believe that these attacks were Western inside-jobs or correct actions and do not take credit for the failures in their society that lead to this type of terrorism. As a result, Europeans are afraid of subsequent attacks from Arab individuals.
2) Arab Anti-European Protests: Nowhere in the world is more famous for US and European flag-burning than the Arab World. For those with a sense of patriotism and pride, these acts engender rage towards those who perform them. Since this is more common in the Arab World than elsewhere, more animosity is directed towards Arabs. In the European context, events such as the Jyllands-Posten Cartoon scandal led to Danish embassies being attacked and people dying over a moderately insulting cartoon (some of which was even fabricated by Danish Imams who were angry that more Danish Muslims were not enraged). Europeans have fought numerous wars to protect their freedoms of religion and speech, which Arabs seem to little regard for.
3) Arab Anti-Israeli Sentiment: Some Europeans support the State of Israel as an expression of their Christian or Jewish faith. The Arab antagonism towards the State of Israel alienates them and infuriates them. They have no opposition to the Arab States existing, so why should the Arab States have any opposition to the Jewish State existing? Similarly, in Europe, this is also morphing into general Anti-Semitism. Jews are now fleeing the Swedish city of Malmö because of Arab riots there. In France, Ilan Halimi was brutally tortured and killed by Muslims for the "crime" of being a Jew in Frane.
4) Rampant Human Rights Abuses: The Arab World is known numerous human rights abuses, such as torture for prisoners, attacks and unequal legislation against women, the execution of homosexuals, violence towards religious minorities, and other similar offenses. Instead of taking responsibility for these crimes, many Arabs prefer to claim that there are no problems and continue to engage in these activities. Westerners, especially Europeans, often see themselves as the defenders of justice and righteousness and see the Arabs falling far too short in this regard.
5) Failure to Culturally Adjust: Especially in Europe, Arabs have failed to properly integrate into the European population, bringing their customs and traditions with them. There is the expectation in Europe that you come to the country and become a normal citizen of that country. You can be a citizen with some divergent culture, but it should not be your expectation that society will change to accommodate you. Europeans see the Arabs in Europe as not making those kind of concessions and expecting Europeans to incorporate Shari'a Law into proper governance. Not wanting this type of climate, they oppose Arabs.
6) Misconceptions about Islam: A lot of Westerners know very little about Islam and have heard conflicting information from different sources. Rather than be open to people of different faiths, these people would rather close themselves off and stick to historical enmities.
What are the effect of discrimination on a wider society?

Is same-sex marriage discrimination a violation of Title VII?
Not currently, because Title VII is a federal statute and same-sex marriage does not exist under federal law. Discrimination charges can be brought on the state level in states where sexual orientation discrimination is illegal and same-sex marriage is legally recognized as marriage. However, Title VII cannot currently be applied to sexual orientation discrimination.
The question is more of a statement that a request for information. However, ignore the emotive and inflammatory style of the question for a moment. This allegation has been made many times, often as a criticism of one or both religions. The debate that surrounds the allegation is a complex and heated one. Understand that there can be only the simplest of responses to the question in a forum such as this.
No, people do not know this because Mormonism and Islam are very different religions.
Allah is not recognized at the God of Mormonism, which recognizes God as three people.
Mormonism does not recognize Mohammed as its leading prophet and accepts that Joseph Smith, the Mormon founder is one of several prophets and not the last true prophet. Islam sees Mohammed as the last true prophet after which there can be no others.
Undoubtedly there are similarities. However, take any two religions and similarities will be found between them. To claim that Mormonism is a copy of militant Islam is not only inaccurate but simplistic.

What is the term for a person who is prejudiced against a religion other than Judaism called?
The only religion with an established term for discrimination against that religious group is the Jews with Anti-Semitism or Judenhass. There is no specific term that seems to cover hatred of any specific religious affiliation in the same way that "racist" covers hatred of any specific race. (For example, a Black person could be racist against East Asians or an Indian could be racist against Native Americans.)
Some people have proposed the term "religist", but it has not really caught on, especially since a number of people use this term for an adherent of religion rather than a person who hates others on account of their religious affiliation.. Other lengthier terms that are sometimes used are "Anti-Religious Bigot" (e.g. Anti-Christian Bigot, Anti-Muslim Bigot, etc.), "Religionophobe" (e.g. Christianophobe, Islamophobe, etc.), "Discriminatory Against Religion", and improper uses of the term "racist". Of course, a term like "intolerant", "discriminatory", "vile", or "exclusivist" can be used, but these do not clearly indicate that the animus derives from the target's religious affiliation (as opposed to skin color, political manifestations, or sexual orientation).
