Tof1 Family Diversity Why Hate Matters More Than Exposure
This article describes and critiques five assumptions that inform advocates' claims: The belief that the heterosexual nuclear family is the most (1) real, (2) divine, (3) natural, (4) longstanding, and (5) functional form of kinship. In the richness of humanity, we find an array of cultures, customs, and beliefs that reflect the diversity of our species. Yet, this diversity is often a source of division and discrimination. The more we take these steps, the more likely we are to protect impressionable young people from false narratives that spread hate.
Now, new research suggests yet another explanation for hate crimes: Increased violence and negative attitudes toward any group perceived to be the largest minority. When the minority group becomes larger, the majority group feels more threatened. First, we consider agerelated patterns of responses toward tolerance of diversity and whether they depend on the type of dissenting beliefs and practices children are asked to tolerate. Second, we focus on how and why children are asked to be tolerant. In this series of articles, i will explore the many faces of white resistance to racial equity, including possible root causes and strategies for maintaining an open dialogue with white resisters. Join us for an essential science conversation to discuss the psychological science, particularly from a social psychology perspective, behind why some people feel threatened by equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives.
