  A strong version of the structuralist critique—that research on the psychology of prejudice is entirely useless, distracting, or even dangerous—is hard to defend. Large-scale demographic research makes clear that psychological prejudice is a key driver of (for example) economic inequality (e.g., Chetty et al. 2018) and inequities in the criminal justice system (Center for Policing Equity 2016). More broadly, no matter how autonomously certain social structures operate, people must choose to accept or reject those structures, to vote for politicians who speak for or against them, and so on. How people assess these options is at least in part a psychological question.
