Fred Derf Veteran Posted September 8, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 8, 2005 Perfect example. I just found this in another thread. Prejudice. Does it mean that he is racist? No... 586496006[/snapback] You have a narrow definition of racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrchetsteadman Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 You have a narrow definition of racism. 586496039[/snapback] It really depends, because I wouldn't generalize it. I wouldn't say ALL white people are racist because one called me a << racial epithet >>. I would say that one person is. The statement I quoted before was an example of a broad generalization. It still does not mean he is racist. He could have chosen his words better, but it is perfect because it doesn?t prove anything. One can imply from the comment that he was racist, but there is no definitive proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGVL Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I know I'm prejudiced. For example, if I see someone listening to rap I will find it very difficult to take him seriously in the future. Also toward vegetarian people, I always think of them as the tree hugger, "save the poor animals" types and I can never take them seriously.

Draconian Guppy Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 heck no, as an example I look up to "colored" people. Like Michael Jordan Michael Jackson jackie chan Edit: This for racism example of course... But I am... why? because I think black people are better at sports, asian are better at working & meditation, Latinos for laziness, etc. <- this is also Prejudice/racism... ;) And I don't judge people on first impression, although even that is prejudice :wacko: Victor Rambo 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remix17 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 OK first of all this poll is stupid, no offense to original poster. If I see an asian person and I think he knows karate, doesn't mean I'm prejudiced, all that means is that an asian person is more likely to know karate than lets say a black person. (doesn't mean all asian people know karate) If I am inclined to think that a person with baggy jeans listens to hip-hop, it is NOT because I'm prejudiced, it is because in my mind a person who wears baggy jeans in more likely to listen to hip-hop than lets say country music. Doesn't matter if it's true because it's based on personal experience. It has to do with the way human brain functions, it has to do with forming assosiations between things, which are sometimes false. People should take psychology 101. I'm sorry for being human ! I'm not in denial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiveMasterT Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 everyone has prejudices and biases... there are lots of general stereotypes and lots of local stereotypes depending on where you live... take for example i say im from westchester so everyone thinks im rich and snobby... when i actually i am a very approachable person with not so much money. whatever though, i have my prejudices... i dont think anyone needs to know them though.
