🗑
show Modern prejudice is described as a form of prejudice which is more subtle, hidden and expressed in ways more likely accepted within the majority group.  
🗑
show prejudice can be reduced by increasing intergroup contact; that is, increasing direct contact between two groups who are prejudiced against each other.
