Summary

This quote by George Aiken suggests that prejudice is not solely based on differences in race, religion, or nationality, but instead reflects a deeper human inclination to find reasons to discriminate or harbor biases.

Therefore, the quote highlights the importance of recognizing and challenging our inherent biases rather than focusing solely on superficial differences.

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know.
