Who was prejudiced?

Answer 1

Prejudice has been an accepted social norm for many centuries. There really aren't too many times or places in history where some form of prejudice wasn't practiced. We are all familiar withe the blatant prejudices practiced such as slavery and the treatment of Native Americans in America, pogroms and the Holocaust of Europe, the historic roles of women in Asia, apartheid in South Africa, but throughout, there have also been subtle localized prejudiced practices. The laws affecting the lives of the Chinese in the western states after the railroads were built, Japanese Americans interred in concentration camps during WWII, the segregation of American neighborhoods throughout the twentieth century are just a sampling. The list is very long and could go on for pages.

The hard part of this story is how it still goes on today, there is no end to the ways that people can treat other people with prejudice.
