Mowtown, you need to understand that "stigmatizing" is normal to human nature. You could be totally sane and black and be stigmatized, you could be any religion and be stimatized, you could be a part of "any" class and be stigmatized, or even favor a political leaning and be stigmatized. That is a condition that is all over humanity, always has been that way, and probably always will.
They have tested children and this begins around age 3. I watched a documentary on this as they had two identical teddy bears, the told the child one bear liked the cookies she liked and the other bear liked to cookies she did not like. Afterwards they told her she could pick a bear and take it home with her, she chose the bear that liked the same cookies she liked. This is just "human nature".
