Stigmatized groups sometimes show heightened sensitivity to subtle prejudice cues

Evidence

Other studies, however, lend some support for Allport’s hypothesis. For example, one study found that compared to European Americans, African Americans were more sensitive to the differences between highversus low-prejudiced European American interviewers who were interviewing an African American on a muted videotape (Rollman, 1978). Women and African Americans also were more likely to label ambiguous actions as prejudice than were men and European Americans, even when the targets were not members of their own group (Inman & Baron, 1996). — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 946
