A form of proof bias directed specifically at
marginalized groups, beliefs, or practices, where the demand for proof serves to delegitimize entire worldviews or
identities. Bigoted proof bias often targets indigenous knowledge, spiritual practices, or cultural traditions, insisting they meet evidentiary standards derived from dominant, Western,
materialist frameworks—while ignoring that those frameworks were never applied to the traditions of the powerful. It uses “proof” as a cudgel to enforce epistemic hierarchy and cultural supremacy.
