Prejudices arising from denying moral worth need societal analysis

Evidence

I argue that one cannot appreciate fully the societal, collective conversation about the moral status of Romanies in European societies if one does not explore closely the nature of prejudices that stem from the diminution or denial of people’s moral worth and the societal conditions and contexts that perpetuate them. — Cristian Tileagă, The Nature of Prejudice, 38
