Question

Discuss one reason why some scholars and researchers have avoided discussing the types of discrimination that may occur between 2 different groups of color

Answer 1

The subjectivity around the terms such as discrimination, prejudice makes them difficult to define. It had been seen as an abstract world of knowledge. However with large differences that emerged in the world with Apartheid, Massacre, Income gap, religion, sexual differences, inferiority complexes, etc. these terms started gaining contextual basis.

Some scholars and researchers in the field of society and social psychology have avoided discussing the types of discrimination due to its

- contextual nature,

- one's own implicit biases and prejudices that could have emerged while discussing.

- societal norms around the topics related to race, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability and class differences hinder an honest and open discussion of these terms
