Question

Because people often experience multiple layers of disadvantage as they experience race, ________ suggests that we must also understand that prejudice can be layered prejudice, often encompassing more than one prejudice or stereotype at a time.

Answer 1

The Intersection Theory suggests that we must also understand that prejudice can be layered prejudice, often encompassing more than one prejudice or stereotype at a time.

Explanation:

• There is no reason historically or sociologically that the prejudices that we bear today have come to us the way they were originated.
• There may be ample undiscovered evidence to prove that there have been eliminations and additions to the prejudices that we hold about ourselves and others.
• The Intersection Theory emphasizes the possibility of the addition and elimination of the layers of such prejudices.
