Fordomme stikker deres grimme fjæs frem overalt. Usikkerhed, frygten for de anderledes styrer vores tanker, udløser utryghed, vrede og had.

Når en iransk butiksejer køber en pistol, er vi sikre på, at den skal bruges. Når en mexicansk far giver sin usynlige skudsikre kappe til sin 5-årige datter, er vi overbeviste om, at noget frygteligt vil ske.
