The thread about racist remarks got me thinking about prejudices. I'm willing to bet we all have them, even if they aren't racist. There are probably a lot of people who try to be openminded, but I doubt there are many who truly have no sense of prejudice in their mind. I know I tend to be prejudiced against uneducated or poorly educated people. I know that this isn't a good thing, but it just seems to be automatic to my brain. What are your prejudices? Are you trying to get rid of them? Do you think it is even possible to have no prejudices?
I'm not talking about prejudice as in making fun of someone or discriminating against a certain group. I just mean, when you encounter someone with a particular trait, is there a negative reaction in your brain toward them?
