What ethnic group are you most prejudiced against?

Anglo men, 45-55 years of age, in an income bracket that considers them wealthy or at least upper middle class. If they are in charge of large organization, I hold all the more against them.   While in college, I had huge prejudice against anyone in a fraternity.   also have begun to assume that "progressive" men from the sixties "counter culture" aren't much different from the corporate execs referenced above. Have to say these prejudices have  prevented me from forming alliances with folks who might otherwise be of some help to myself or the organization I'm part of.

even though i like to think i'm not prejudiced against anyone, i would probably say that i'm more weary about mexicans for some reason.

None really... I think prejudice is a bad thing and that people should learn to accept everyone for who they are.

I try not to be prejudiced, but after some years in South Florida, I got very tired of the in-your-face Hispanics there.

I almost said none, but then I thought about it...I guess I am prejudiced against people who teach hate, ignorance and violence, who leave their kids with no sense of morality.

I don't like to be around people who are disrespectful, angry or hurtful.

But ... if the question was redesigned, what ethnic group is most prejudiced against ME i would have to say...people who teach hate, ignorance and violence, who leave their kids with no sense of morality!

I know I've quoted him recently but I firmly agree with Emo Philips: "Why hate someone because of the color of their skin or who they sleep with or where they come from when there are so many real reasons to hate them?"

I would like to think I am not prejudiced against any group...however, would say I am probably prejudiced against stupid people.

Are you crazy? I'm so open-minded it's ridiculous. The only reason I get mad at any group is if it's mean to other people or to the earth.

I guess I would have to say I am most prejudiced against Latinos. I am not a very prejudice person, but I can't stand it when they start talking to me. I have had a few experiences with a few Latinos who seemed very prejudice against Americans and they think they are the best race out there, so I don't particularly care for them.…

I am aware of an irrational, lingering resentment against the Germans, the Italians and the Japanese. This dates back nearly 60 years, during WW II when they were responsible for my father not being home.

I don't hate an ethnic group, the group that I can not stand are the people who allow their spouses or significant others to abuse their children. It is one thing to allow yourself to be abused but to allow your someone to hurt your children is unacceptable to me. Those people are as much responsible for their children's abuse as the abuser is.

If red-necks are an "ethnic group" that would be it. . . .
