Categorism is one simple thing. But it is one simple thing which contains many complicated things. Categorism is "prejudice, bigotry and discrimination, based on a categorization of human beings".
Categorism has three aspects. These are the facets (how the categorism is done), the foci (what categorization the particular case of categorism focuses on) and the abstractions (how categorization itself becomes a case of categorism).
This wiki explores...
- Various facets of categorism, ranging from the three archtype facets of prejudice, bigotry and discrimination to more specific facets such as marginalization, stigmatization and kyriarchy.
- Various foci of categorism, ranging from widely know ones such as racism, sexism and homophobia to more obscure ones like gingerism and witchparanoia.
- Various abstractions of categorism, such as "no true scotsman fallacy" and "guilt by association".
The wiki is primarily based on "Categorization of Human Beings versus the Universality of Human Rights". Which was written by Xzenu Cronström Beskow as his Master Thesis in Human Rights Studies program, from which he graduated in 2014. The thesis itself will soon be available for download from the university server.
