It's just another way for weak people, insecure people, to plump themselves up by pretending they are better than people with a difference to themselves. Skin colour, intelligence, religion, genetics, values, height, disability, geographical location, eye shape, gender, age, hair colour, weight, accent - whatever!
But hey, it is so much easier than actually looking in a mirror, eh?
It all smacks of 'othering' a group of people simply because they happen to be different, & that's never going to be healthy in the long term.
