asdjkl: Tendency to belittle others is particularly pronounced in the wake of death reminders. Studies have demonstrated that after pondering their mortality, Christians denigrate Jews, conservatives condemn liberals, Italians despise Germans, Israeli children dislike Russian kids, and people everywhere ridicule immigrants. And death reminders cause us to see members of such out-groups as less human and more animalistic. Sadly, these tactics work; it’s easier to dispose of troublesome thoughts of death when one disparages “different” others.
