<br/><br/> "In the United States, black Americans are the typical targets of discrimination. In France, the victims are usually Arab immigrants. In both cases, prejudice against minorities has less to do with the color or national origin of the ostracized than with the need of whites and natives to preserve their own sense of moral self-worth." (CONTEXTS) The author examines racial images and stereotypes in the U.S. and France and concludes that "racist beliefs arise from the moral frameworks that people use to evaluate one another. Racist people, unlike more tolerant people, believe that members of a particular racial minority fail to meet these moral standards."
