There is just one tiny niggly thought there. I think so. I have to combat those nagging ragged threadbare ideas daily. I came from a very bigoted familt. I say bigoted because to be 'prejudice' is to prejudge.
Bigotry is plain ordinary unreasoning hatred and fear.
I was raised this way. It is all I heard. Jews were out, blacks had another uglier word attached to their existence, mexicans were all lazy, chinese were sort of ok if they just let us alone, communists were the devil, all kinds of mental crude stuck to my mind and soul. When 'race' is spoken of, when 'mixed marriages' are mentioned, I have to substitute something else.
