Research indicates that middle school students who attend ethnically diverse schools feel safer and less lonely than students who attend more ethnically homogenous schools. Which of the following explanations may account for this feeling of safety?

Blame Others for Their Own Prejudices

Explanation:

Ethnically diverse schools contain students from different social and ethnic backgrounds. In such schools, students tend to feel safe since they can transfer blame on other students of different race or religion or color for the mistakes and prejudices they commit. Students from superior race or culture will easily blame those who come from lower race or culture to hide their misdemeanor.
