Prejudice that is based on race. This is not as bad as racism because there is no power behind it. Black people can be racially prejudiced, but not racist because we are the most disadvantaged. Any other POC and white people can be racist because they have the power to be racist in society, thanks to systemic racial power structures and white privilege. White people can only endure racial prejudice, not racism. Asian and American Indians also only experience racial prejudice, never racism.
Person 1 - Asians are copying BLM with their ALM movement AKA "Stop Asian Hate". They don't deal with racism
Person 2 - That's racist, they deal with racism too
Person 1 - We can't be racist, we have no power. They don't deal with racism, only racial prejudice
Person 2 - That actually makes sense, thank you

Get the racial prejudice mug.A form of atheist bigotry characterized by pre‑judging individuals based on their religious, spiritual, or metaphysical affiliations, often assuming they are intellectually deficient, emotionally weak, or morally compromised. It manifests in dismissive labels (“she’s a woo‑woo,” “he’s a Bible thumper”), in assumptions tExample: “When she mentioned she practiced meditation rooted in Buddhist tradition, he immediately dismissed her professional competence—atheist prejudice, assuming spirituality precluded intelligence.”hat believers cannot be scientists or critical thinkers, and in the automatic attribution of any disagreement to the other’s “irrationality.” Atheist prejudice operates as a cognitive shortcut that allows the prejudiced person to avoid engaging with the actual person and their views.
Example: “When she mentioned she practiced meditation rooted in Buddhist tradition, he immediately dismissed her professional competence—atheist prejudice, assuming spirituality precluded intelligence.”

Get the Atheist Prejudice mug.A milder but still harmful form of Proof Bigotry, characterized by a reflexive tendency to dismiss any claim that is not accompanied by “proof” as defined by the prejudiced person, without examining whether proof is needed or what form it might take. Proof prejudice operates as a cognitive shortcut: if the speaker cannot immediately produce the type of evidence demanded, their entire position is automatically invalid. Unlike proof bigotry, it may not be accompanied by active harassment, but it still closes down inquiry and silences perspectives that do not conform to a narrow evidentiary standard.
Example: “When she mentioned her grandmother’s herbal remedies, he scoffed ‘prove it works.’ He didn’t ask about context or tradition—proof prejudice, dismissing non‑Western knowledge for failing a test it was never designed to pass.”

Get the Proof Prejudice mug.The cognitive bias underlying Evidence Bigotry: a reflexive dismissal of any claim not accompanied by evidence in the form preferred by the prejudiced person, combined with a willingness to attribute the lack of such evidence to the claimant’s intellectual or mental deficiency. Evidence prejudice often operates automatically, without conscious malice—but its effects are silencing. It treats absence of double‑blind studies as proof of fraud, and it equates “not yet measured” with “unreal.” It is especially common in debates about spirituality, indigenous knowledge, and experiential claims.
Example: “He heard ‘energy healing’ and immediately said ‘that’s pseudoscience, there’s no evidence.’ He never asked what kind of evidence might be appropriate—evidence prejudice, dismissing a practice because it didn’t fit his evidentiary template.”
