Expecting to be disliked by minorities lowers self-esteem and worsens interaction

Evidence

Majority groups prejudge minorities as likely to be prejudiced against them, which decreases self-esteem and makes the interaction feel unpleasant as people become narcissistically preoccupied with how they themselves are viewed (Vorauer & Kumhyr, 2001). — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 347
