Understanding this quote
The quote compares prejudice to a chain because it can restrict a person’s freedom and choices. Holding onto unfair judgments can keep someone trapped in narrow ways of thinking, preventing a fuller understanding of other people and the world. The image suggests that prejudice does not only harm those who are judged; it can also limit the person who carries it.
