It is important to understand what blind prejudice is. For example, if one believes that one group of human beings such as Indians or non-Christians are morally as good or bad as another group such as Europeans or Christians, respectively, then one is not prejudiced. It is only when one believes that one group is better or worse than another group that the specter of prejudice raises its ugly head.
Even those who understand fully what prejudice is, do not recognize it in themselves. The latter is most likely as true of many of you as it is of me. In modern times the prejudice that we encounter is primarily of an implicit rather than explicit nature. The world's foremost experts on the psychology of prejudice are Mahzarin Banaji, a Harvard University professor of Indian origin and Anthony Greenwald, professor at the University of Washington at Seattle. Together they have written a book called "Blindspot, Hidden biases of good people", which is worth a read. Here is a nice article on the topic of implicit prejudice in Scientific American: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-implicit-prejudice/?print=true Cheers, Santosh
