Intolerance
Intolerance is an unwillingness to accept other people or groups who are different from one's own. When we are intolerant we may want to get rid of the other person, group or idea, or we may just treat them as if they were less valuable or less important than we are. Racial discrimination and prejudice are forms of intolerance.
