Prejudiced opinions are frequently upheld with great intensity.
Prejudiced opinions are frequently upheld with great intensity.
Historical period not yet established
Understand the thought
Meaning in plain English
Prejudiced opinions defended intensely contrast strength of expression with fairness of judgment. The saying questions commitment that may outstrip understanding or evidence.
What the words are saying
Frequently is not a measured rate here, and intensity does not prove prejudice. A useful reading examines assumptions, support and consequences rather than tone alone. A justified objection can also be forceful, so the particular claim matters more than a general suspicion of conviction.
Everyday example
A reader checks an emphatic group claim’s evidence and effects instead of accepting confidence as proof.
When to use it
Use it to examine convictions with specific evidence retained.
What it does not mean
No prevalence estimate or diagnosis of prejudice from intensity alone is established.
Agent-assisted editorial interpretation. This explains the words; it does not by itself verify their author or earliest origin.
