- for the second part, quote Allport's Inergroup Contact Hypothesis (or Theory)
- Intergroup contact works by getting members of ingroups and outgroups
together under conditions that favour positive outcomes (eg. cooperative
common goals).

- establish laws, regulations and social norms mandating fair treatment
eg. passing of Race Discrimination Bill on 10 July 2008
Anti-Discrimination Protection For Ethnic Minorities in Hong Kong
- Public awareness: in Psychology, "Norms" are expectations or informal
rules for acceptable behavior in a given situation, even one person's public
support for anti-prejudice norms is enough to move other people in that
directions.
