Prejudiced discriminators (all-weather bigots)
The hardcore racists who will discriminate whenever possible, even when it is socially unapproved.
Racist ideology serves five functions:
Provides a moral rationale for systemic deprivation
It allows the dominant group to reconcile values and baheviour
It discourages the subordinate group from challenging system
It rallies adherence in support of a “just” cause
It defends the existing division of labour
Prejudiced non-discriminators (fair-weathered bigots)
Individuals who don’t believe that everyone is equal; but because we live in a politically correct society, they will not disclose their prejudice unless they believe they are among like-minded people.
Unprejudiced discriminators (fair-weathered liberals)
People who are not prejudiced but will discriminate if social circumstances encourage it. This group will not speak out against those who discriminate.
Unprejudiced non-discriminators (all-weather liberals)
Individuals who are not prejudiced and do not discriminate against other racial groups
Merton’s Classification of Bigotry
Classifies bigots in a similar scheme to how he classifies deviant behavior. Four Categories:
- Unprejudiced non-discriminators (all weather liberals)
- Unprejudiced discriminators (fair-weathered liberals)
- Prejudiced non-discriminators (fair-weathered bigots)
- Prejudiced discriminators (all-weather bigots)
