Social dominators target weak minorities because domination itself motivates them

Evidence

So is there any mystery as to why so many social dominators are prejudiced? Weak minorities provide easy targets for exerting power, for being mean, and for dominating others. For that matter, is there any mystery as to why many Social Dominators are social dominators? They reject equality on the SDO scale more than most people do because they tend to reject equality in general. It is antithetical to their outlook on life, and their personal motivation. — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 1023
