Quais são algumas das formas mais comuns pelas quais as pessoas discriminam umas às outras? Algumas das áreas onde as pessoas mostram a sua intolerância são bem conhecidas, como a raça. Mas outros são menos reconhecidos1, mesmo que mais comuns:
Age: Ageism is more common than you think. Older people are thought to be inflexible and stuck2 in the past, while younger people are seen as inexperienced and naive. One-fifth of working adults say they experience ageism in the workplace.Idade: O preconceito de idade é mais comum do que você pensa. As pessoas mais velhas são consideradas inflexíveis e presas2 ao passado, enquanto as pessoas mais jovens são vistas como inexperientes e ingénuas. Um quinto dos adultos que trabalham afirmam sofrer preconceito de idade no local de trabalho.
Class: Classism usually takes the form of discrimination by wealthier people against those who are less well off. However, classism goes both ways— people of lower economic status can see the wealthy as elite snobs who, while monetarily secure, are morally bankrupt.
Classe: O classismo geralmente assume a forma de discriminação por parte das pessoas mais ricas contra aquelas que estão em condições menos favorecidas. No entanto, o classismo funciona nos dois sentidos – as pessoas com um estatuto económico mais baixo podem ver os ricos como esnobes da elite que, embora financeiramente seguros, estão moralmente falidos.
Color: Different from racism, colorism is discrimination based only on the color of a person's skin; how relatively dark or light they are. Colorism takes place within and between races. It is common in multi-ethnic and non-white societies and societies with historical racial prejudice.

Cor: Diferente do racismo, o colorismo é a discriminação baseada apenas na cor da pele de uma pessoa; quão relativamente escuros ou claros eles são. O colorismo ocorre dentro e entre raças. É comum em sociedades multiétnicas e não brancas e em sociedades com preconceito racial histórico.
Ability: Usually called ableism, a less well-known form of prejudice is discrimination against people with visible disabilities such as those in wheelchairs or with a learning disability. The disabled face discrimination not only from their peers4, but from institutions, schools, employers, and landowners5 who are hesitant to accommodate the disabled.

Habilidade: Geralmente chamada de capacidade, uma forma menos conhecida de preconceito é a discriminação contra pessoas com deficiências visíveis, como cadeiras de rodas ou com dificuldades de aprendizagem. As pessoas com deficiência enfrentam discriminação não só por parte dos seus pares4, mas também por parte de instituições, escolas, empregadores e proprietários de terras5 que hesitam em acomodar as pessoas com deficiência.
Sex/Gender: Possibly the most universal and long running prejudice is that based on a person's gender or sex. Historically, sexism has placed men in a more advantageous position than women.

Sexo/Gênero: Possivelmente o preconceito mais universal e duradouro é aquele baseado no género ou sexo de uma pessoa. Historicamente, o sexismo colocou os homens numa posição mais vantajosa do que as mulheres.
Weight/Size: In short, sizeism is discrimination based on a person's body size or weight. Sizeism works with social standards of beauty and usually takes the form of discrimination against the overweight — anti-fat prejudice.

Peso/Tamanho: Resumindo, sizeismo é a discriminação baseada no tamanho ou peso corporal de uma pessoa. O sizeismo trabalha com padrões sociais de beleza e geralmente assume a forma de discriminação contra quem está acima do peso – preconceito anti-gordura.
Religion: Religious discrimination and persecution has been common throughout history. But prejudice based on religious affiliation doesn’t end with organized religion; atheists are prone6 to discrimination and being discriminated against.
Religião: A discriminação e a perseguição religiosa têm sido comuns ao longo da história. Mas o preconceito baseado na filiação religiosa não termina com a religião organizada; os ateus são propensos6 à discriminação e a serem discriminados.
Sexual Orientation: Most commonly, prejudice based on sexual orientation includes discrimination against those of a non-heterosexual orientation. Discrimination against the non-heterosexual takes many forms depending on the society. In some societies prejudice is open and tolerated, but in most Western societies, bias against the non-heterosexual is more discreet.

Em algumas sociedades o preconceito é aberto e tolerado, mas na maioria das sociedades ocidentais, o preconceito contra os não-heterossexuais é mais discreto.
Country of Origin: Nativism is a common form of discrimination against immigrants to a country. Unlike many other forms of discrimination, nativism is many times encouraged and enforced by some public entities.
