What type of group is depicted in the vignette?

Then Malcolm started noticing other things about her behavior. He noticed that Ginny would eat only with people of her own race and gender, for that matter. He heard her make another racist remark.

Malcolm discussed Ginny's behavior with his supervisor but she did not see enough evidence of racism to do anything about it.
