While overt prejudice is now much less prevalent than in decades
past, subtle prejudice - prejudice that is inconspicuous, indirect,
and often unconscious - continues to pervade our society. Laws do
not protect against subtle prejudice and, because of its covert
nature, it is difficult to observe and frequently goes undetected
by both perpetrator and victim. Benign Bigotry uses a fresh format
to examine subtle prejudice by addressing six commonly held
cultural myths based on assumptions that appear harmless but
actually foster discrimination: 'those people all look alike';
'they must be guilty of something'; 'feminists are man-haters';
'gays flaunt their sexuality'; 'I'm not a racist, I'm color-blind'
and 'affirmative action is reverse racism'. Kristin J. Anderson
skillfully relates each of these myths to real world events,
emphasizes how errors in individual thinking can affect society at
large, and suggests strategies for reducing prejudice in daily
life.
