so, Fnord, you had problems with individuals from a group of people judging you and discriminating against you (Europeans, and women specifically)... ...and so you turn around and judge/discriminate against that entire group?
More like I had so many bad experiences with whites that I now avoid them whenever possible.

i find that quite hilarious. there really isn't any single racial, ethnic, or cultural group (or gender) that can be categorised by behaviour as you have tried to do.
Experience has shown me that I can. If there had been a group of white NTs that had accepted me as I was, then maybe I'd be more inclined to seek whites out as friends. As it is, I feel a knot growing in my stomach just thinking about it.

personally, i like to be treated as an equal, in a relationship of mutual respect, devotion, and concern for emotional and physical welfare. it's not a certain race that does that better than any other.
Me too. Had they treated me better, I'd have a better opinion of them, but it's an emotional thing that goes way deep. Since I'm in my mid-fifties, how many years of therapy do you think it would take to unlearn this prejudice? More years than I have left, I'd wager, so why bother?
I am sorry - I don't mean to offend anyone, but since my prejudice was not reasoned in, how can it possibly be reasoned out?
