Behavioral discrimination persists even where attitudes lack textbook negative prejudice

Evidence

The weakness of contemporary evidence that prejudice toward ethnic minorities or women is predominantly negative does not indicate that prejudice has disappeared. For example, economists continue to document a wage gap between women and men that is in part discriminatory (e.g., Lips, 2003), and psychologists provide evidence that women, more frequently than men, are targets of sexual harassment in the workplace (e.g., Fitzgerald, 1993). … Prejudicial phenomena thus appear to be alive and well, despite the lack of evidence that attitudes toward these groups conform to textbook definitions of prejudice. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 186
