Do you have any prejudices?
May 26, 2013 at 6:36 pm
I really detest Muslims. And not because i think they're all terrorists, since i'm not dumb enough to think that. And not because they killed that soldier in London (I'm British, so I saw this coming to some extent). i detest them since they are:
- sensitive. even at the most innocuous of slights against their religion, they yell and cry out. Look bitches, you live in a country of freedom of expression, go back to Pakistan or Yemen if you hate it here so much. I frankly find it funny to see BBC and CNN show these fucks in Sudan or Saudi going ape.
- closed-minded. they cannot accept anything beyond their own world view. Most Muslims reject modern science, yet still use cars, computers and utilise medicine BASED on modern science. Another thing is that during medieval times their kind contributed a lot to scientific canon, even many concepts we use today (algorithms being such). If they hate science now, why was it good for their forebears of the same faith?
- hypocrites and skivers - they hate our way of life, yet still utilise our resources and welcome the fact our countries are safer, more secure and wealthier than Pakistan or Mullahstan or wherever. Most of these people will earn far higher salaries than their comrades in Mullahstan or Niggerstan or wherever.
i just wish all muslims living in developed countries go fuck off back to pakistan, or arabstan, mullahstan, towelheadistan or niggerstan or wherever. i don't want them in my country, or for them to fuck up our way of life.

I'm prejudiced against undue prejudices.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Tons. Red wines over whites. Herding breeds of dogs over other breeds. Women who are comfortable with their appetites over mousy ones. Martin over Tolkien. Foliage over flowers. My prejudices are rampant.

Wouldn't they be personal preferences whateverist?

In one way I agree with you, in another way I've had girlfriends and friends who have been muslims and worst enemies who I've literally just wish would die who were white atheists, but I do live in an area where there are a lot of pakistani muslims and I've witnessed a lot of prejudice from them in the past and I do think that their beliefs are ridiculous,
In practice though, their not drinking rule does work to an extent. My area has very little drunk violence, if they managed to sort out how they treat women and non muslims I might not see their religion as such a problem.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Rapists, murderers, thieves, scoundrels, child-fuckers, IT agents, lawyers, and celery.
I'm positively prejudiced with all of those. I like them a lot, and I cut them deals on principle.
Only negatively prejudiced with one group:
Sewing machines. Seriously: fuck sewing machines. I've been known to refuse homeless sewing machines a night's stay in my house, known to lynch the sewing machines I pass by in the street, known to spit upon a beaten and battered sewing machine so as to let it know how unwelcome it is in my presence (it's MY sidewalk, get the fuck off), and even known to refuse sewing machines jobs based on invented reasons they can't do their job.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I remember when I was a kid my brother got beat up by another kid because he was "brown". I remember standing at a Denny's for an hour because they wouldn't have us, and my dad decided to stay there and repeat to us that we had to hold our heads high, not look down, and not give them the satisfaction for a minute that they made us feel ashamed of who we were. I remember my dad coming home from work to a wife who was hiding in the closet with her kids because the neighbor was harassing and threatening us because of our race, and my dad took my brother from the hand as he went and set the man in his place.
As an adult I always thought I was open to all cultures. I moved around so much that it was possible for me to meet people from many cultures. I had Asian, African-American, Mexican, Cuban, Salvadorian, Brazilian, gay, lesbian, transsexual, poor, not so poor, educated, uneducated friends, etc. I never noticed I didn't have white friends.
When I started my current job I met so many white people and I discovered I was prejudiced. My prejudice attitude was that as soon as I met them I felt uncomfortable, defensive, scared, and certain that they didn't like me. Now I am friends with most of them and I can't believe how much I have grown fond of them. I was wrong. I generalized. I took a few bad experiences as a child and didn't even notice I was applying them to everyone who fit that description. I was wrong and I'm so sorry. I really am.
