Right-wing authoritarians resist learning they are prejudiced.

Evidence

Right-wing authoritarians also have plenty of “kick” in them. They are hostile toward so many minorities, they seem to be equal opportunity bigots. But they do not usually realize they are relatively ethnocentric. Nor do they want to find out. They will often say that if they score highly on a measure of prejudice, they do not want to learn they did. — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 916
