Where is the page about prejudice against the unintelligent?[edit]
Prejudice and negative attitudes about dumb people (especially, but not exclusively, those with disabilities) are a much more present issue in society than anti-intellectualism. Since I am not an experienced editor, I would like some help with finding more sources about this and making a page for it. ILoveHirasawaYui (talk) 20:50, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@ILoveHirasawaYui: I am not sure exactly what you’re getting at. Prejudice against intellectually disabled people is ableism which is a completely different topic than just “prejudice against non-smart people” which I’m not sure is really a “thing” in the sense that there’s a name for it, scholarly research etc. Cheerio, Dronebogus (talk) 09:22, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are definitely negative attitudes, at the very least, against non-smart people, if not outright discrimination through, say, extremely competitive school systems in certain countries. I found a few opinion pieces about this, but I’m stuck on scholarly articles because I don’t know the name for it, like lookism or ageism.ILoveHirasawaYui (talk) 09:34, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
One can argue that it would be a good thing if intellectually challenged people were less likely to get into positions of power than they are now. --Hob Gadling (talk) 13:23, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to say that, but I think OP might be referring to gratuitous prejudice against people for not being “smart enough”. Dronebogus (talk) 20:22, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
