Suppose a plant has $1,000$ employees, half of whom are of one race and half of whom are of another. Suppose further that, in order to cut costs, managers must lay off $100$ employees. If the managers only lay off workers from one race because an analysis of average productivity data suggests that they are $5$ percent less efficient, then the managers are using $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$blank discrimination, which is $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$blank.
