There must be a reason for the popularity, despite fifty years of
             desegregation, of racially biased humor. There must be a reason books of
             "politically correct" fairy tales got big laughs and made big bucks for
             their clever authors. There must be a reason that people laugh about being
             "politically correct" in their thoughts, words and actions. And perhaps
             the concept is so continually amusing because it refers to a psychology
             that does not naturally exist in human beings. At base, although there is
             so much talk about unity' and globalism' and all of us being one (and I
             don't pretend to argue that we are or are not one in spirit), we all do
             come to this plane of existence in a variety of wrappers.' Moreover,
             these wrappersâ€"our bodiesâ€"are motivated by an infinite variety of thought

             proclivities of these minds and mental states are inherent or
             environmental. It doesn't matter. What is important is that when humans
             are attempting to be non-judgmental, non-discriminatory and unprejudiced,
             they are attempting to surmount a very basic animal reaction to the simple
             fact of inhabiting a body different from most other bodies, but quite
             Other researchers, too, have found that stereotyping and the
             prejudice to which it gives life (sometimes followed by discriminatory
             acts, and sometimes simply held in mind) are so hard to eradicate in humans
             that they must be part of the package. "We've found out that despite the
             cleverest efforts of smart, knowledgeable researchers, it is very hard to
             get people not to stereotype." (Pratto, 1992, 184) There are circumstances
             in which stereotyping is reduced, including having additional information
             about someone that would otherwise be stereotyped or when one is personally
             involved with a stereotyping target or are motivated to be ...
