Well, that would indicated that one person here, who spends an inordinate amount of time degrading
'out-group' members must have a tremendous amount of self-esteem - maybe approaching narcissism.



I think it usually means the person in question is *lacking* in
self-esteem and seeks ways in which to feel better about him/herself and
their "in" groups.
