The principle that unequal status breeds prejudice suggests that those who have less power or lower social status are more likely to be the target of prejudice and discrimination. Regions where slavery was practiced had a clear hierarchy in which slaves were treated as property and denied their basic rights as human beings, leading to a culture of prejudice and discrimination against them. This is consistent with the historical evidence that prejudice tends to be more prevalent in societies with deep social and economic inequalities.
