Do you have any prejudice in you?

Everyone in the world have prejudices. When you tell your kids not to talk to strangers that is a prejudice. When companies hire people with certain educational backgrounds that is prejudice. Without prejudices we cannot survive in this world. But prejudices based on race, ethnicity, sexuality etc. is bad and should not be practiced. So yes, I would say I have a healthy amount of prejudice.

Sure, prejudice is a survival instinct from when humans roamed the plains. It is also used as a self-definition tool. "Yeah, I hate (insert whomever you hate), they're the cause of my problems!"\n To keep one's mind clear of prejudice, one must be ever vigilant. It's always an easy out to blame your troubles on others.

I have a pretty open family, so no, I have not suffered any kind of prejudice.  No, I did not regreat living with my hubby before we got married, in fact, I'm glad I did.  It's as close to marriage as you can get.  You just have a legal obligation to them after you marry, so it is somewhat different.  I would suggest to my son that he lives with the girl he wants to marry before doing so.  You learn so much being around someone 24/7.  Even if you hang out at the other's house everyday... It's different

All my beliefs are judgments, not prejudices.  My judgments of reality, and that is also one of my judgments about reality.  I accept the ramifications of such a judgment.  For who else is qualified to make judgments for me?\n\n"Judge and be prepared to judge"\nAyn Rand

Yes I do! It's hard sometimes, but I know it's equally as hard for people to accept me as well, so.....well that's something that's on an even keel with me! :)

it sounds simpler than it is...but here goes:  Just do it!  If it is important enough to you, you will find a way to accomplish anything you set your mind too.  If you truly do not want to overcome this character flaw, you will not find a way to rid yourself of your prejudices.....\nI am white, and where I live I would be lost without our black population, they are FAR more friendly and hospitable to me than ANY of the white people living here!!!!!

Are you not contradicting yourself?

No... I dont.  I never had any prejudice at all. I dont judge any book by its cover. I read the pages first.... but sometimes I close the book.

I feel there are two reasons prejudice will always be with us in one form or another.\n\nFeeling superior.\nThis was said to me (by someone who never could hold down a job or make ends meet) when I asked if he could afford the rent where he was moving.\n"What do you think? I'm not like those muchachos from the other side of the tracks who doesn't even TRY to pay their bills!"\ntranslation;  I may be a loser but I'm not as a big of a loser as THOSE people!\n\nShortcut\nI takes a while to know who is honest & who isn't, who is a hard worker & who isn't, etc.\nPrejudice allows people to think they can look at someone & have a short cut to knowing those important things.

Everyone has their prejudices, but some people are more likely to act on them than others are.  I try to judge the individual, but I am just as guilty as anyone else of having my stereotypes.  I'm sure others feel the same way about me in that regard.  I guess the best rules of thumb that I use in dealing with my personal prejudices is to keep in mind that one person, or a few people, demonstrating negative traits isn't representative of the whole group that he or she belongs to, and you have to be willing to look at the positive traits demonstrated by others in the group.

Well, if you are one you may not be respected and if you are the other you may not be liked. An extreme of either would be a bad label.

i wouldnt consider myself prejudiced but i suppose other people would,  i think everyone at some stage are more ignorant than prejudiced about certain things like religion and things like that because i know i am, its more fear of not wanting to know so i think people tend to just go on the defensive about things they know nothing about and just follow the norm which is being prejudiced

do you consider yourself as a friend ?

Of Course.  For example, you can prefer to date certain people, but still be friends with people you wouldn't date.  Attraction is an exception, b/c we are not all attracted to the same thing.  \n\nPreference and prejudice are similar but at the same time very different.  Preferring one thing does not completely close the door to the other.  When one totally closes the door and writes someone off without knowledge or history that is prejudice, b/c no chance was given.  But with history and knowledge comes preference.\n\nWhat one must be careful with is drawing preference from the experiences of others, not that it can't be done, but that will lead to stereotypes and unjust assumptions.
