Out-group minorities are admired for courage rather than derogated

Evidence

Often, the minority is not derogated even in these circumstances; indeed, Kruglanski and Mackie (1990) have suggested that minority group members actually may be admired for their courage in standing up for their beliefs. This response may not always result in persuasion, but it is unlikely to result in minority derogation, even if the minority is an outgroup. — Roderick M. Kramer, Geoffrey J. Leonardelli, Robert W.
