What is the cause of the most widespread form of prejudice?

  1. Race

  2. Ethnicity

  3. Religion

  4. Gender

The correct answer is: Race

Prejudice is a preconceived, negative attitude or opinions towards a certain group, race, or culture. Out of the choices given, race is typically the most widespread cause of prejudice. This is due to the historical and societal systems in place that have perpetuated ideas of superiority and inferiority based on someone's race. While ethnicity, religion, and gender can also contribute to prejudice, they are not as pervasive and deeply ingrained in society as race. Additionally, prejudices towards these other factors can often stem from and be influenced by racial biases.
