Are you aware of your own prejudice?

I like the way you phrased that, in assuming that everyone has prejudices and many people stereotype, based on societal views. I think that sometimes I am aware of my prejudices and other times I am completely clueless and get called out as being hypocritical. For example I don't like it when people judges Asians negatively and in a stereotypical manner but I would turn around and make jokes or other stereotypes of other races. I believe we're all guilty of it and a lot of the time it is difficult to look at one's own problems, which is why many people miss out on their own prejudices. Job and housing-wise I would not discriminate, I would give the job to the best man/woman based on their performance and resume.

having prejudice is about being human, ghie. sometimes, though personal prejudices are no longer normal and can get people into trouble. for me, most of the prejudices i have had as a young man, then as a professional, have been mostly reconciled. i am a lot mellower now and give more to acceptance and understanding, never giving way even to my deep-seated prejudices, one of which is: i have no patience for mediocrity.

I agree with comment #1 I think your question was excellently worded. Haven't met anyone with having no prejudice, even the ones claiming to be upright all the time. Let's face it everyone has their own litlle biases, little passes of judgement made against everyone else, be it about big things like religion or politics or class to little things. I think everyone has a basic prejudice against others who are different from him/herself, which stems from misunderstanding or not really knowing about the other. The trick is just trying to have an open mind, to see the other side of the argument, the other facet of what you can see.
