intolerance
Rejection of others
Intolerance is the unwillingness to accept views, beliefs, or behaviors that differ from one's own.
It often manifests as hostility toward particular groups based on race, religion, or other characteristics: The rally was a response to rising intolerance in the community.
In medicine, intolerance describes the body's inability to process certain substances without adverse effects, as in lactose intolerance or gluten intolerance.
