Do you have any prejudices?

[dazzn]

who says they cannot behave as they do?

What do you mean?

lol.. you were citing they didn't treat women right. why should they? as if modern western values are inherently correct. lol..

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.

This. Everyone has their prejudices, whether they recognize them as such, or not.
The challenge is to recognize prejudices for what they are, unfair biases of an entire group often based on individual examples. And ultimately to overcome them.

My main recognizable prejudice? Southern accents. In conversation I'll often assume a person with a Southern accent is less educated and less intelligent than someone without a pronounced accent. Of course this is entirely biased and often incorrect. When I catch myself doing this, I try to mentally check myself and give the person back those automatically deducted IQ points. Nobody is stupid until they prove themselves to be such, and even unintelligent people can have something important to add.

Who says that we need to do so?

Prejudices are part of human nature. It's only contemporary morals that cite they are wrong. Go tell people 200 years ago that prejudice is wrong, and see what they say lol..
