A stigmatized group’s collective history stays psychologically active in every situation.

Evidence

Targets of racism live daily with the possibility of threat, bias, denigration, and diminished opportunity. Individual and collective histories of targets are psychologically available at any given moment, and thus are part of the situation that influences behavior and forms the basis of the Universal Context of Racism Model (UCR; Jones, 2003). — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 1080 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
