The book Race and Ethnicity in the United States defines prejudice as “a negative attitude that rejects an entire group”. ... Prejudices don’t always involve race and aren’t always bad. ...
A person can have a prejudice against an entire race because they may feel ethnocentrism. Race and Ethnicity in the United States defines ethnocentrism as, “the tendency to assume that one’s culture and way of life are superior to all others”. ... This is a very dangerous type of prejudice because if for example, a person is a manager of a big business and had the view of ethnocentrism they may discriminate against any other race that is not their own. ... However, I feel that if someone who is in a position of power had a prejudice against another race but never said or acted upon it; it could still be harmful.
