Answer: Four-fifths rule.

Explanation:

The four-fifths rule states that a hiring rate for a group (can definitely divided into ethnicity, race etc categories) that is lower than 80% of that of the dominant group is evidence of discriminatory (disparate) effect on the smaller group as it can lead to an adverse effect in the company's decisions related to human resource activities such as hiring and promotions.
