Abstract
This chapter is about how diversity can beat provincial ethnocentric prejudice. More precisely, it is about how establishing a more complex system of standards leads people to be more tolerant in their judgment of other people, and of themselves. It focuses on one particular process, ingroup projection, that makes people intolerant towards deviant outgroups, and on how this process can be interrupted by inducing complexity.
