The country in which I live has laws forbidding discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity, religion, sexuality or sex. We’ve come a long way since the days when the reverse was true — when homosexuality was illegal, for instance, or when women were barred from voting. But this doesn’t mean that prejudice is over, of course. Nowadays we need to be as concerned about subtler strains of prejudice as the kind of loud-mouthed racism and sexism that makes us ashamed of the past.
Subtle prejudice is the domain of unjustified assumptions, dog-whistles, and plain failure to make the effort to include people who are different from ourselves, or who don’t fit our expectations. One word for the expressions of subtle prejudice is " microaggression." These are things such as repeating a thoughtless stereotype, or too readily dismissing someone’s viewpoint — actions that may seem unworthy of comment, but can nevertheless
marginalise an individual.
The people perpetrating these microaggressions may be completely unaware that they hold a prejudiced view. Psychologists distinguish between our explicit attitudes — which are the beliefs and feelings we’ll admit to — and our implicit attitudes — which are our beliefs and feelings which are revealed by our actions. So, for example, you might say that you are not a sexist, you might even say that you are anti-sexist, but if you interrupt women more than men in meetings you would be displaying a sexist implicit attitude — one which is very different from that non-sexist explicit attitude you profess.
The thing about subtle prejudice is that it is by definition subtle — lots of small differences in how people are treated, small asides, little jibes, ambiguous differences in how we treat one person compared to another. This makes it hard to measure, and hard to address, and — for some people — hard to take seriously.
This is the skeptical line of thought - when people complain about being treated differently in small ways they are being overly sensitive, trying to lay claim to a culture of victimhood. Small differences are just that — small.
Now you will have your own intuitions about that view, but my interest is in how you could test the idea that a thousand small cuts do add up. A classic experiment on the way race affects our interactions shows not only the myriad ways in which race can affect how we treat people, but shows in a clever way that even the most privileged of us would suffer if we were all subjected to subtle discrimination.
The first paragraph implied that prejudices________.
选项
A、have vanished
B、have been implicit
C、have been noticeable
D、have been understandable
答案
B
解析
本题是推理题,根据文章第一段的最后两句话得知歧视并未消失,同时有些歧视更加微妙、琐碎。因此B选项为最佳答案。
