Maria is a real estate salesperson in Topeka. A seller client instructs her to avoid showing the property to buyers of a particular ethnic lineage, citing concerns about 'neighborhood character.' Maria refuses to comply. Under Kansas law, which protected class is most directly implicated by the seller's instruction?

Correct Answer

C) Ancestry

The seller's instruction to avoid showing the property to buyers of a particular ethnic lineage directly implicates 'ancestry' as a protected class under the Kansas Act Against Discrimination (K.S.A. 44-1015 et seq.). Ancestry is a Kansas-specific protected class not found in the federal Fair Housing Act, covering a person's ethnic or family lineage.
