What are YOU prejudice against?(honest answers please)

Post by Dargos »

Ok...I know Iam opening a can of worms here...and most likely will be flamed to death...I would like to know what forms of prejudice you all have. Please, everyone has it to one minor form or another and unfortunately its a human thing as well....think about it before answering...really think.


I am now signing my own death warrent I'm sure...and my point is not I REPEAT NOT to insult anyone...I only want to be honest.

My only real prejudice is.......(Please don't kill me everyone. I'm sorry)

Oriental women who do not speak english as a primary language and totaly massacre the language with their accent. I KNOW ITS WRONG!!! Pleasebeleave me!! I don't want it bother me but it does..its like finger nails on a chalk board to me.. I'm sorry again if this insults anyone(and i know it will) But if I ask this question about Prejudices how can I expect honest answers without being honest myself.

(my lastwill and testement are completed....please be gentle..I don't like pain)

Black men. Dunno what it is, but I have this unnerving want to stay away from them. NTM, I have no attraction to them whatsoever.

Cold-hearted people. I refuse to associate with them.

Childish people. I refuse to associate with them.

I hate bigots.

I hate people who refuse to accept their heritage and those who claim a false heritage.

I despise people who refuse to accept common sense and logic.

I dislike people who mindlessly believe what the media presents them. FOX News is not unbiased and infallible.

Most of all I hate trolls.

My prejudices:

Fundies - just say you believe the Bible is the literal word of God, and I've stopped regarding you as a person.

Idiots in general - I have no sympathy for them.

Goths - something is seriously wrong with them.

Body piercings - something is seriously wrong with them.

Excessively moral people - something is seriously wrong with them

People who don't like Anime - something is seriously wrong with them

Ruri Hoshino - I worship the ground she walks on. Yes, I know she is a fictional character. That doesn't prevent me from being completely infatuated with her... sigh.

(BTW - the last one is a prejudice for, not against, in case you hadn't noticed.)

Rupert Murdock, and my cousin Ted Turner (The two worst things to come down the sewer of Journelism, although the Miami Hereld, and Hearst Enterprises isn't far behind), When I was studding it in college and High School, I was censoring my self CONSTANTLY not to be biased, I got hated by guests at Jr. AP conventions, as I would catch someone in a lie, and embarrass them with facts.

It's not that I think all Goths are angsty and dramatic - hell, most goths I know wouldn't know what agnst is. I just can't imagine why someone would want to wear black all the time, or why someone would want to cause permanent injury to their body to make a fashion statement. No, I can't justify these feelings - that's why they're prejudices.

Not all of them are masochists. Sure, I like black, it's my favorite color, and its comfortable to me. And it's not something to justify, it's a matter of preference.

And the "injury," well, everybody has their reasons...I just wanted it, thats all. What's your stance on tattoos?

And may I ask, are you in college, high school, out of school, or what?

Don't get me started on FOX News ... right wing jingoistic bullshit for the masses indeed- a network that must continuously remind its viewers that it is "fair and balanced" is anything but.

I hate those people and the ones who bash anime. It's annoying when they bother me about how I like those "Japanese cartoons."

I think I have similar feelings for Hotaru Tomoe and Samus Aran.

Just realise that if you were to speak Chinese, Japanese, you'd be butchering their language as well. Your accent would also be all wrong. One of my university roomates was from Japan, and she'd mess things up frequently, forget to use "the" and stuff. But it never bothered me because her english is WAY better than my Japanese!

Believe me, Japanese is easy to screw up. Words change depending on how you pronounce the vowels. I once was reading some basic japanese thing and said "shojo".. and she started laughing because I just said "virgin", I was trying for urangatang, but that's evidently "shOjo"...

I said I was sorry...and I really wish it didn't bother me. I know its an irrational dislike(to the extream). I do not "hate" anyone for their culture, ethnic, religouse, or political backgrounds. But this one thing makes me leave rooms to avoid being in the same area. Sorry

-----EDIT----

and if you notice I said "women". for some reason that I can not explain its only Oriental women. Oriental men whose accent slaughters english doesn't bother me a bit. Weird I know..

And forgive me for intruding, but any other language could be just as hard, especially anything tonal. Russian is hard, yes, Japanese and Chinese ar eharder, but have you tried Navajo or Tewa!? Native American languages are by far the worst second languages one oculd learn.

I have no doubt, just speaking on a subject (japanese) that I know a *little* bit about. Haven't been exposed to native language at all, so I will take your word for it.

Take all the tonals (up, down, flat, and up and down), have those by themselves, and then another set of them, nasalized. *shudder*
