Blame Others for Their Own Prejudices

Explanation:

Ethnically diverse schools contain students from different social and ethnic backgrounds. In such schools, students tend to feel safe since they can transfer blame on other students of different race or religion or color for the mistakes and prejudices they commit. Students from superior race or culture will easily blame those who come from lower race or culture to hide their misdemeanor.
