What a peurile response - my point throughout this thread is to confront prejudiced thinking wherever it is, including in myself.

 

No moral high ground here - in fact Crispy one, I find that when the arguments I put forward cannot be discursively or empirically challenged yours is the kind of answer that comes up.

One of my "African" students summed up these types of topics perfectly in a few words.

 

European Skin colour people in South Africa ( Probably other places to) are always seen as:

Competent until proven Incompetent

Innocent until proven Guilty 

 

Where as darker skin colour people 

Incompetent until proven Competent 

Guilty until proven Innocent.

 

 

Myself have been guilty of this and have really put in an conscience effort to eradicate this in my life.

Human brain is a fascinating piece of genius and capable of subconsciously storing information that eventually influence your action without you realising it.

But maybe its true that both size and spelling count?

 

 

 

 

The level of detail people will go into to “just be right”.

Winning a spelling bee does not make somebody more or less prejudiced.

I'm not prejudiced. I love Heineken in a bottle, in a can or from a draught machine.

Even previously disadvantaged, if it's been left out, I'll gladly take it in and put it up in my fridge
