Targets of prejudice deploy many protective strategies, not just self-hatred

Evidence

Allport, in contrast, considered a variety of possible responses under the more general proposition that “ego-defenses” must be developed to cope with the daily assaults on well-being, dignity, and human value. He discussed some 16 different defense mechanisms that covered the gamut of possibilities from passive withdrawal to aggressive, action–oriented redress. Only one of these was labeled “self-hatred.” — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 1043
