Preferred term

modern forms of prejudice  

Definition

  • Significant improvements in intergroup relations during the past century have been spurred by heightened awareness of the problem of prejudice and its inherent injustice, legal prohibitions against discrimination, changing norms, and individuals' adoption of less prejudiced personal attitudes. Nonetheless, an undercurrent of internalized bias remains for many people. [Source: Encyclopedia of Group Processes & Intergroup Relations; Modern Forms of Prejudice]
