About This Quote

Prejudice is an act of violence. It’s a system of thought and action by which we treat people differently because we believe they are different from us. When we hold prejudices, we see someone as less than us because of their race or social status. The same thing applies to other forms of prejudice, such as sexism and homophobia. The idea of treating someone differently because of who they are is so ingrained in our society that we don’t even realize it anymore.
