Abnormal aversion vs. prejudice

The section entitled "Prejudices and discrimination" is prejudicial itself. A given phobia in the section may not necessarily be prejudicially anti-ethnic, but may be a strong, abnormal aversion to the culture, or even simply be delusional. In fact, the labeller, as opposed to the labelled may be the one prejudicial. I would prefer to see abnormal aversion to prejudice in the text, as it more accurately describes the phobias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.29.74.137 (talk) 17:20, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

The articles in that section are about various forms of discrimination and prejudice. A non-prejudicial abnormal aversion to a particular group would be a separate thing. Per Wikipedia policy, that phenomenon would, if notable, require its own separate article.--Srleffler (talk) 01:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
