Prejudices

[muses_nightmare]

I'm only biased in that I want my money to actually go to the people I'm donating for. I don't believe that most religious run charities actually give the majority of the money to the people they're "helping" don't try to make me out to be a bad person because I think Christianity is a destructive religion and I don't want to contribute to any cause that is run by Christians or any major religion (Christians being the most prevalent of them)

So if you're not biased then you will donate to any charity that asks it of you? Even if it is run by or supports something you don't believe in?

I have racial prejudices. All against men of certain races. So maybe I'm a prejudiced sexist?

I'm not proud of it. I could blame it on my small town Wisconsin upbringing and not being around people of other races until I was older, I could blame it on friends and especially family, with racist jokes always being ubiquitous. But I won't blame it solely on others or my upbringing. I should know better than to judge another person, or rather, a male based on the color of his skin.

I could also be ignorant and say "But stereotypes exist for a reason!", but I won't use that to prove any points.

It's not going to go anywhere. I will always have it. I know I shouldn't place little incidents here and there as examples to always have a prejudice, but the more often it happens, the more it angers me and fuels my prejudice.

You know, I have my racial prejudices as well too. Sometimes I remind myself of Walt from Gran Torino, I have attitudes against certain cultures, but in the end, I would hate to see them discriminated against because of those attitudes.

Exactly, rage.

I got very upset in high school when some of the rednecks were bullying a black girl and harrassing her, but nothing was done about it when she fought back.

Well, I can't be that bad....I've no qualms of pointing out rednecks and white trash. I don't think white is right or better by any means. And I judge a LOT of white males as creepers and pigs who can't control their gawking. The only difference is the guys of other races are the only ones who try to GRAB me or touch me, which pretty much defines my prejudice right there with men of other races.
