What will be an ideal response?
Prejudice is an unjustified negative attitude toward an individual because of the individual's membership in a group. Many ethnic minority individuals continue to experience persistent forms of prejudice, discrimination, and bias. Ethnic minority adolescents are taught in schools that often have a middle-SES, non-Latino White bias. Discrimination and prejudice continue to be present in the media, interpersonal interactions, and daily conversations. Crimes, strangeness, poverty, mistakes, and deterioration can mistakenly be attributed to ethnic minority individuals or foreigners.
