The author predicts future racial and ethnic relations challenges will

• A. Decrease due to globalization
• B. Increase due to more migration of athletes and other workers worldwide
• C. Stay the same
• D. Focus on doping issues

Answer: (B)

As movement across borders increases, racial and ethnic dynamics in sports and workplaces become more prominent and visible, making future challenges more likely. When athletes and other workers from diverse backgrounds share teams, leagues, and communities, interactions across cultures grow, bringing opportunities for collaboration but also tensions around fair access, representation, and cultural misunderstandings. This heightened contact means issues related to race and ethnicity are more likely to emerge as visible obstacles that organizations must address, rather than fade away or stay flat. A focus on doping, by contrast, shifts attention to fairness in performance rather than the social dynamics of race and ethnicity, and predicting a decrease or no change overlooks how greater migration and global interconnectedness intensify intercultural contact and the need for inclusive policies.
