 Generic generalizations may be relevant to understanding social prejudice in other respects too. For example, “ticks carry Lyme disease” is accepted at low prevalence levels, perhaps because carrying Lyme disease is a dangerous property, of the sort one would wish to avoid. What then are we to make of similar generics in the social realm, e.g., “Muslims are terrorists”? Clearly, there is something deeply wrong with the latter that is not wrong with the former. One possibility is that these “dangerous generics” involve the assumption that the members of the kind in question share a nature that ground the property in question (or at least the corresponding disposition or propensity), and so generalizations such as “Muslims are terrorists” again involve false essentialist beliefs about social groups (Leslie 2017).
