Own your prejudices ITT - Page 4 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Which maybe good for illustrating prejudice using comparison.

People who are not as privileged with knowledge, education, or awareness of biases and prejudice have an opportunity to learn from distinction.

People who don't get my jokes and/or don't think they're as funny as they actually are.

Animals that have gone through as much domestication as dogs and cats don't really belong outside any more than people do. I used to keep rats and their chances of surviving in the wild are effectively zero.

People I dislike are more the type that are genuinely confused as to why anyone would keep them, not just people who don't have or want them.

Men are are far more likely than women to be gifted at making people laugh. If I were to make a list of the 25 funniest people I've known IRL I don't think there would be more than one or two women.

Visible tattoos and piercings are a sign someone is highly unlikely to ever have anything interesting to say.

White women living in Taiwan/China are physically unattractive unless they work as models (probably similar for men). Australians living here cannot speak a word of Chinese unless it relates to purchasing alcohol.

A couple of my rats used to go out with me if I was hanging laundry up or sitting in the garden. They're pretty happy sitting on your shoulder and sniffing at the world around them.

Corrected to conform to my biases.

Are Germans still sensitive to their Nazi past? Like, is calling a German a Nazi a common insult in lol Europe to get under a German's skin?

It's offensive to Germans. You can get away with mentioning it once.

(It's not a big deal when used in contexts like 'soup nazi')

A drunk German flatmate once told me he liked England so much he was taking it for Germany, and he was very sorry that I'd have to go to the camps.

It's 99% he was joking.

As a kid I was secretly happy that I was blonde and blue eyed because, you know, if the Nazis ever successfully took over the world I'd be spared from concentration camps.

I'm prejudiced against Americans under 55 (today, not 40 years ago) who heavily smoke cigarettes. My prejudice is that there's a low upper bound on their intelligence.

If any of you can name some notorious exceptions I'd like to hear them. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I don't recall encountering any in my experience.

I am ambivalent about women who smoke. On the one hand, the idea of kissing a woman who would put such a disgusting thing in her mouth is revolting. On the other hand, anyone who would put something as disgusting as a cigarette in their mouth can't reasonably say no to putting my penis there, right?

You might as well claim there's a low upper bound on the intelligence of anyone who eats donuts or drinks soda.
