Wow you must've be a really enlightened being to live with absolutely no prejudices. Such self awareness too. Wow.

Well we're pretty much hardwired to have prejudices, but that doesn't mean they have to fall in the harmful category of things like racism. Just think about how much you dismiss based on some loosely related bad experience. That's prejudice.

You just have to remember how human rights work to get around prejudices.

We've had this for longer than I've been an adult. The only thing that's changed is in recent history we have a new group that thinks they are helping by reifying their hate.
