Prejudice targets are caught between heritage and dominant worldviews, destabilizing meaning.

Evidence

In an important sense, targets of prejudice are caught between two worldviews: the traditional beliefs and values of their ethnic heritage and the views and standards espoused in the dominant culture. Confronted with this conflict, individuals may have a hard time figuring out what beliefs are truly meaningful and what it really means to be a person of value. — Jeff Greenberg and Spee Kosloff, Terror Management Theory, 73
