Like one of any minority, I have experienced prejudice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are a lot of people who like to think they don't have prejudices and that they're open people, and yet, we all have that in ourselves, oftentimes against people of our own race or our own gender or whatever.
I have all my life fought against prejudice, having been subjected to it myself.
I think prejudice has gotten to a point where a lot of people hold biases in their mind and don't even realize that they're doing it, because it's deeply ingrained in the fabric of what it means to be an American.
Prejudice is like a hair across your cheek. You can't see it, you can't find it with your fingers, but you keep brushing at it because the feel of it is irritating.
It's interesting to take a look at people who deal with prejudice on a daily basis - it's been a real eye opener for me.
Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.
If you were black, you experienced prejudice. It wasn't a real horrible thing for us; we went through it. We noticed it mostly in the South and in Las Vegas, where we couldn't stay in the hotels where we entertained. But that began to change.
There is no prejudice so strong as that which arises from a fancied exemption from all prejudice.
Prejudice is a learned trait. You're not born prejudiced; you're taught it.
I am not prejudiced in any way.
