Question:
Several criticisms have been made of the concept of modern-symbolic prejudice.
These include the following:
(a) Modern-symbolic prejudice is not a new form of prejudice; it is just old-fashioned prejudice under a new name.
(b) People who express modern-symbolic prejudice do not really believe in equality; they are just hiding their old-fashioned prejudice behind “politically correct” justifications.
(c) Many of the themes of modern-symbolic prejudice reflect conservative political values, so calling those beliefs a form of prejudice is just a way for political liberals to discredit conservatives. Do you agree or disagree with these criticisms? What are your reasons for agreeing or disagreeing?
