Document Summary

Basically some racists (morton and rushton, who actually went to western!) made some racist claims and claimed that there is a hierarchy of races based on brain size, iq tests (rushton only), and penis sizes (again, rushton only). These findings were highly biased and very racist lol. Modern scientist/sociologists believe that social factors are more influential than biological factors for certain stereotypes of races. Prejudice: is an attitude that judges a person on his or her group(cid:859)s real or i(cid:373)agi(cid:374)ed (cid:272)hara(cid:272)teristi(cid:272)s. Discrimination: is unfair treatment of people because of their group membership. Basically, prejudice would be a teacher not liking a stude(cid:374)t (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause the(cid:455)(cid:859)re asia(cid:374) (cid:894)this has happe(cid:374)ed(cid:895) and discrimination would be that teacher not allowing that asian student to play the role of mother.
