Famous quotes containing the words prejudice and/or privilege:
“The arrogance of race prejudice is an arrogance which defies what is scientifically known of human races.”

“Men will not give up their privilege of helplessness without a struggle. The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters—from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer’s telephone number—a sort of cheerful inefficiency which protects him better than the reputation for having a violent temper.”
