Why is scapegoating people wrong?

Scapegoating is when a person (an individual, a country's leader, a politician) or an entire society places the blame for a social problem on a particular group, even though that group is really not the main cause of the problem. For example, Adolph Hitler scapegoated the Jews and blamed them for all of Germany's economic problems. Currently, in many countries, people are scapegoating immigrants (whether legal or undocumented), and in certain countries, a particular tribe or ethnic group is scapegoated, often leading to civil unrest. While it is certainly true that some individual members of a group may have contributed to a problem, scapegoating places the blame squarely on the entire group and often encourages prejudice or even hatred of that group. Political leaders, especially those in countries where there is no freedom of thought, often use scapegoating to distract from the country's real problems and keep the public busy by giving them a group at whom they can safely direct their anger. The problem of scapegoating is it leads to no solutions-- it just promotes a culture of blame; it can sometimes lead to violence, and it rarely results in positive change.
