WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE STILL TRY TO RATIONALIZE A PREJUDICE?


[+] serious ballot by skylab
created Tue Dec 12, 06

Whether it's directed at Muslims, Jews, gays or whatever. Why do such attitudes still persist?

Ignorance?
Hate?
Tribal instincts?
Because a good amount of it is based on fact.
They don't want to believe people are that evil
I wish I knew...
It is inherent in humans to do that

Why is it that people who try to push multiculturalism and tolerance are the most intolerant of all when someone disagrees with them?

They live in a strange world. Apparently where I live it is different. Jews, Christians and Muslims work together on various community problems. Not too long ago a meeting place for Muslims was vandalized. Guess who offered them temporary free space to worship? A Jewish Synagogue. Jews and Christians also shared a common place for awhile. Now they are essentially on the same property. Different buildings, but share the same parking lot, etc.

I must live somewhere strange.

Voted : Ignorance?
Prejudice isn't rational; It isn't based on scientific evidence or impartial facts; It's a psychological conflict between ego and a man's rational mind.
Ego's insecurities and fears over-ride the logical, rational side of reason and makes great leaps to irrational conclusions. Most prejudist is a learned behavior over years of conditioning. Some is the result of enviroment as in peer and social pressure.

Several studies have concluded that when people are put in a group and confronted with the choice of accepting an incorrect answer (such as which line is longest) that the group (deliberately) choose as correct, 80% of the unsuspecting subjects will reject the (obvious) correct answer and go along with the group.

Conclusion: 80% of people are insecure and fear ridicule and rejection.neutral

A mixture of all of the above (except for the "based on fact" crap), a number of factors yet unstated, sheer stupidity- once more, for the official record, when it all goes south, just stand outside your houses and wave a blue flag. I'll be beaming you up fast, so don't eat.
