This happens because members of the majority value their own personhood and consider their attributes part of said personhood. As such, any departure from these valued attributes is seen as negative and reducing someone\u2019s worth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Over time, minorities begin to internalize this method of assigning value,<\/strong> Obama warns. They focus on the way they and other minorities differ from the majority, and they\u2019re more likely to value themselves and others less based on these differences. (Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/ctb.ku.edu\/en\/table-of-contents\/culture\/cultural-competence\/healing-from-interalized-oppression\/main\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Internalized discrimination affects people\u2019s ability to use their skills<\/a>. Studies show people who identified as minorities on a test scored significantly worse than those who didn\u2019t. By requiring them to identify as a minority, the test focused participants on their minority status and the majority\u2019s negative perception of their abilities, making it hard for them to focus on accessing their skills.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obama says <strong>encouraging diversity is the key to reducing this kind of discrimination.<\/strong> As members of the majority encounter more minorities, they\u2019ll become more used to the differences people have and start seeing beyond those differences to the minorities\u2019 personhood. Realizing that minorities have equal worth and personhood encourages the majority to realize their worth doesn\u2019t depend on attributes such as ethnicity, gender, or sexuality. Thus, they\u2019ll be less likely to devalue people who don\u2019t share those attributes, reducing discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>The Psychology of Discrimination<\/strong><br><br>Discrimination occurs when a person is treated poorly because they\u2019re different from the majority. According to some experts, this is caused by <a href=\"https:\/\/thedecisionlab.com\/biases\/in-group-bias\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in-group bias<\/a>: people\u2019s tendency to glorify groups they belong to while treating other groups poorly. As mentioned previously, humans have a natural tendency to categorize themselves and other people. This categorization is important to people\u2019s sense of identity, but it can also make people look only at the group a person is in when determining who they are\u2014only at their differences, as Obama puts it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2009\/02\/090225132241.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The more different a person is from them<\/a>, the easier it is for someone to draw hard boundaries between groups and not look beyond those boundaries.<br><br>This tendency to categorize leads to unfair treatment because people want to boost their self-esteem: They attach their sense of identity to the group they belong to, so their self-esteem depends on the status of that group. They\u2019ll glorify their group and denigrate others because if their group is the best, they\u2019re also the best for belonging to it. This becomes discrimination when one group is in a position of power and uses that power to make their in-group bias systemic. For example, if in-group members who break a law are regularly treated more leniently than members of other groups, that\u2019s discrimination.<br><br>In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-coddling-of-the-american-mind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Coddling of the American Mind<\/a>, Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt agree with Obama that diversity is important for reducing the psychological effects of discrimination. They add that choosing the right method of encouraging diversity is important: <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-coddling-of-the-american-mind\/chapter-11#proportional-procedural-justice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Focus on providing equal opportunities<\/a>, they stress, not attaining equal outcomes.<br><br>According to Lukianoff and Haidt, focusing on equal outcomes means people still overemphasize minorities\u2019 differences, though this time the focus is caused by the need to fulfill a quota. For instance, instead of fixating on an athlete\u2019s gender because they don\u2019t believe women can play as well as men, a university fixates on their gender because they need to attract a certain number of women athletes. In both cases, the women\u2019s ability to get on the team is dictated by their gender, rather than their skills.<br><br>Focusing on equal opportunity lets people be judged on merit: The university welcomes women athletes, but since they aren\u2019t worried about meeting a quota, they can judge the athletes by their abilities, ignoring their gender. This may result in slower change, as it takes time for minorities to use the equal opportunity, but it\u2019s ultimately more effective at reducing discrimination.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does discrimination affect self-esteem?
