New School Nazis? Yes, and it can be demonstrated, but here’s a simple analogy:
You have three children, but you only praise two of them; you tell everyone that you meet how smart, caring, and wonderful they are. The third child is recounted very differently: stories about him show how he must be instructed and corrected by his other two siblings, and focus on his shortcomings and bad behavior.
Does this action lead to a perception of equitable worth? Or negative stereotyping?
Make this simple experiment:
Take television commercials [or TV shows, or books, or reporting, or conversation — it’s everywhere] and divide them into categories by race, gender, ethnicity, and belief: then note the differences in how people are profiled in each category.
New School Nazis?
Proof 1: These actions deliberately create negative and discriminatory stereotypes.
Proof 2: A refusal to change these actions — always defending and excusing them as permissible behavior.
Proof 3: [You don’t want to know; but I’m afraid you will find out] Violence — they can bash you with their hate; but they can’t shame you with their love, because they don’t have it in them. Love would never make the choices they do.
