An aversion is a feeling of dislike or repugnance; like my feeling toward that guy with two dogs that stops in front of my house to let them urinate. It could be rightly said that he causes my aversion to him. He could walk them elsewhere, like in his own yard.

It is hypothesized that aversive racism characterizes the racial attitudes of many well-educated and liberal whites in the United States, as well the attitudes of members of dominant groups toward minority groups in other countries with strong contemporary egalitarian values but discriminatory histories or policies
