Groups can be discriminated against without being disliked

Evidence

The particular complexity that we analyze first in this chapter is that many groups that experience discrimination are not the targets of generalized negative attitudes – the “antipathy” of Allport’s definition. Our second focus is accuracy – the “faulty generalization” of Allport’s definition; we propose a dialectical principle whereby the stereotypes that underlie prejudice may typically be accurate at the group level but inaccurate in relation to individuals in the role-incongruent contexts that elicit prejudiced actions. Finally, we will show that prejudices are not necessarily inflexible but depend fundamentally on social context and slowly yield to changes in groups’ positioning in the social structure. — John F.
