| 'Competitive Victimhood' Among Racial Minorities Backfires, Study Finds |
| 2017-08-02 |
| h/t Instapundit Racial minorities engage in "competitive victimhood" in a quest for recognition of past sufferings such as slavery and colonialism, according to a new research study published by Belgian professors. Laura De Guissmé and Laurent Licata, professors at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, made the claim in a recent article in the European Journal of Social Psychology, further finding that the struggle for victimhood can "foster intergroup conflict" such as a desire for revenge, increased hostility, and racism against other minorities. Consequences of competitive victimhood are especially dangerous, the professors note, because they can contribute to the escalation of conflict (for example, with regards to the Israel/Palestine conflict), reduce trust and empathy, and impede the resolution of conflicts by peaceful means (heightening the threat of violence). |
