You Are a Little Prejudiced

Image

You can't help but judge people a little based on your personal biases.
But you tend to be aware of your prejudices, and you fight them the best you can.
Most people are more like you than they'd care to admit... but it doesn't mean you shouldn't change.
Remember to take each person as an individual. It's not fair to judge someone based on their background or subculture.

Sometimes, Sometimes, etc except Never for the last one.

I mean, honestly, if someone is being incomptent and they're a women/whatever, of course I'm going to assume they got it through affirmative action.

Okay, I guess I'm prejudice toward idiot drivers.

The test said I was not prejudiced, which is a load of nonsense because I am. I am prejudiced against any and all people who try to hold me back either actively (by calling me names and stealing from me) or passively (by being dumb, ruining society, and making Americans look bad.) I am prejudiced against hillbillies, rednecks, gangstas, obese people, drug addicts, dumb asses, and kids. I have good reason to be prejudiced against these people because they make life worse for me in various ways. To be completely without prejudice is to let the scum of the earth walk all over you.

Of course, having prejudice against people of certain races or cultures is ridiculous. There are good black people and bad black people. There are no good gangstas or drug addicts. There will be no good rednecks until aliens and. If and when that happens, there will be no bad rednecks. All of my prejudices are based on personal influence and logic.

Todd489,

It's probably not a good idea to say you're prejudiced against certain groups if you wish to appear logical; you're confusing predilection with prejudice if your experience connotes total disdain for all children, drug addicts and "rednecks". Prejudice is derived from a preconceived judgment and hostility directed at a group that's different to you and yours, and that's without a rational basis.

Not to mention that it's incorrect to state that people walk over you due to a lack of prejudice (even predilection doesn't equate to this); that's called cowardice.

You Are Not Prejudiced

Image

Not only are you color blind, but you're also ethnicity blind, gender blind, and sexual orientation blind.
You don't judge someone until you truly know them. And even then, you're probably reluctant to judge.
You try to treat everyone equally. Everyone has a fair chance with you.
Good job - there's not a prejudiced bone in your body.

Everyone has a little prejudice, it's not always conscious. For example, no one cares if a dog has to spend a day sitting alone in a house with nothing to do.

You Are Totally Prejudiced

Image

You judge people on their race, gender, sexual orientation, and ethnic background...
Even before you have a chance to get to know them!
While you think you know people, you really don't have a clue about them.
Get to know individuals for who they are... and you'll be surprised what you find out.


Look at this, if you "flunk" the test, you even get a nice little lecture. :wink: And there are some interesting assumptions about the nature of prejudice indicated in the graphic that goes with it.

Haha, humans...

Good fortune,

- Icarus Casts the First Stone
