Facets of categorism
From Categorism.com
A facet of categorism is a way in which categorism is done. With prejudice, bigotry and discrimination constructed as the archetypical facets (being categorism through beliefs, feelings and acts, respectively), there are also more specific facets. The thesis lists 30 such facets of categorism. It also mentions a 31:s facet, infantilization, without including it on the list. The facets operate on at least six different levels.
List of 30 facets
This list is available at page 93 of the thesis. The list is not intended to be conclusive, as the possible ways of expressing prejudice, bigotry and/or discrimination are virtually infinite.
