I don't think there is a single soul walking around who doesn't have some prejudices. Maybe our prejudices serve to keep us safe -- or maybe we think they do anyway. Or maybe they come out of life's experiences. Who knows. I suppose we fall into two categories: those who drop prejudices over time or those whose prejudices settle in more pronounced.
I was interested in what Sandra Bullock says about her husband who hosts cable-TV Monster Garage, sports a bunch of tattoos and knows his antiques.
I assumed he was a homophobic chauvinist, a bigot who killed people. And later I felt saddened by my assumptions because I wondered how many times had I written off people who truly were real. Sandra Bullock
I hope I'm overcoming a few of my own too. How about you?
