Is Bigotry Taught? - Page 3

Yup.

Not to be a dick, but it pretty much is.

There are few who go out of their way to find problems with the specific group in question without prior teaching but (in my experience) it stems from irrational hatred at a single person that festered to full on hatred.

So generally it's taught but there are, of course, exceptions.

Answer to Seil-meister's question:

Some People are dicks, either just because, or for some odd-ass reason.

Our society is racist, homophobic, and sexist.

People learn a healthy part of their behavior and personality from their surroundings, including their culture.

Put 'em together and you get racist dicks.

Smarty, you disappoint me. I read your name and rushed here, expecting to be dumbfounded by a 3-paragraph, 500-word block of text regarding bigotry, the existence thereof in any capitalist society, the corruption of human nature, the guilt of the education system and how everyone who doesn't let non-british individuals into casinos should be shot, all connected through tenuous logic, idealism and a convoluted, yet compelling style of argument that would've put many revolutionary leaders to shame.

Instead, I get this.

I'm deeply, deeply disappointed.

Hahahaha, I actually did starting typing that out and had set up quotes from basically everyone in the thread but then thought- No one was going to read it- why bother! So I put that instead.
Consider this Smarty 2.0

We've had a designated sarcasm symbol for over a hundred years and no one knows about it? I fear the struggle may be meaningless.

Straw-Feminism 101, this Gun IS my dick!

Amake · 02-24-2010, 04:55 AM

Premmy · 02-24-2010, 04:58 AM

It's a kind of Pea shooter.
