prejudice
According to the Journal of Applied Social Psychology, children who read the Harry Potter book series have been found to have greatly reduced prejudices against immigrants, LGBT people, and other stigmatized groups.
Aligning with a broader anti-racist movement, many people of color in the LGBT community point out the trickiness of their work: Racism can be subtle, even invisible, to all but those who it’s directed at – and sometimes even to them. Racism can be in the attitudes of partners, acquaintances and friends. It can be in people of your own race. The challenge of drawing awareness to racism where it exists within the LGBT community itself is steep.
