I try not to be prejudiced towards anybody, but sometimes everybody is.
I've only been prejudiced towards a few times in my life, I think. I'm not bothered by it really.
My friends are prejudiced to me all the time because I'm Northern and I live in the South, but they're only kidding, and I'm not at all bothered by it. :laugh:
I can sorta see where you're going from. But those who've been neglected are naturally going to prejudge against those with characteristics similar to those who've hurt them in life. *deep breath* I think that is the less lethal type of prejudice which is sometimes necessary to prevent further hurt.Quote:

I'm prejudice twoards n00bs, until I get to know them. :p then I still don't like em ;)
I've received my fair share of flat-out discrimination, and I now spend the rest of my days dishing it back out tenfold in return.
I agree.Quote:

I have worked 2 years as a cashier, and the reason why I'm kinda prejudiced is because I'm most often right. I can see if a person means trouble. You said the attractive people were ignoring you, I haven't noticed that, but the 50+ year old mothers. Man, they just keep on ignoring you no matter what. Then they become annoyed at you when they don't heard what you said because they were busy being ignoring. :/ They're just bitter cus they're not hot anymore. Not that they ever was though, since they lived in the 60's and all.
It's rampant where I live.
My mom had the toughest time getting a job, and it was just waitressing. Since she's gotten a better one, but that took 4 years. Men can get jobs 4x faster than that.
There are also neo-nazis and white supremasts all over, wearing white/red laces in doc-martins. I've been jumped by them twice for wearing anti-nazi patches and clothing. They're constantly spray painting terrible messages everywhere, as on the ESL center:
"**** the *insert racial slur here*.
I hate it.
People who treat other people unfairly because of their race or skin color should now that everyone is the same and just because of their skin color does not make them bad at all. Also, being a certain race does not mean you are white, black, mexican, or any other race. Being a certain race means being yourself. People should learn and get to know other people before judging them.
I worked at Taco Bell ages ago xD It's always the menstrating/old women that cause trouble. Anyone ever notice that it's always the females? ;) *stereotypes* God they're annoying. If I work any customer service job I like dealing with men seven hundred times more.
Racism is bad because people can't change the color of their skin. Unless they like... plastic surgery.. o_O /swt.
Judging people based on their clothing and how they display themselves, that's reasonable. It's not right, no, but it's a lot easier to generalize and in a lot more cases the generalization is true. If you're a guy who wears hardcore gangsta xD clothing with holes in them and has pierced everything etc etc, then even if you're a good straight-A kid who just stays home all day doing chores, no one will think so, and rightfully so - how you portray yourself is a reflection of who you are, right? It's like employers having a right to be prejudiced against you based purely on what you're wearing to the interview, because it really shows how you carry yourself.
Prejudice is intolerable in everyone but myself and Mr. Darcy. :heart:
Racism is snite in everybody and racists are dum-dums and I hate them.
Cut it out already. I'm seeing this type of stuff from you in every other post, it seems. Enough. You're just as bad for thinking that all white people are horrible racists.Quote:

There's the occasional "dumb white girl" comment, but that's about it.
100% true.Quote:

Yes, people suck. Probably why I don't really enjoy their company too often. :) (Bar a few lucky individuals.)
