This may be a stupid thread to post up, but I was genuinely curious about this:
Have any of you ever PERSONALLY experienced something prejudicial that you thought was ridiculous or hella offensive? Have you ever wanted to embrace the negative stereotype and "go for bad" at all? It can be anything...
Also, it may be sorta shameful, but any confessions of being prejudiced?
(Again, this was P inspired: I was listening to My Boy D and thinking about the "classic story: good brother gone bad" line...)

I am more olive-toned (thanks to the Sicilian in me), but it's still pretty f*ckin' obvious that I'm white. Never experienced any "reverse racism" or any of that b.s.
I HAVE however, gotten a lot of comments about being a nerd, and also, I'm somewhere between Sean Connery's James Bond and Austin Powers on the body hair scale (again, thanks to being Sicilian), and I got MAJOR sh*t for that (especially 'cause I was on a swim team for a while... they kept yelling Sasquatch at me)... someone once suggested that I let them "mow my back" (almost knocked that dude out).
But yeah, I think I've been pretty fair to everyone... in early high school, I told a lot of gay jokes, but if that's as bad as it got, I think I'm doing alright...

well, im a bit of an overweight nerd, but ive been a bit predjudice in my time, i look back and completley regret things ive said and done, but it was out of ignorance. my family and (now) my friends are all un predjudice but when i was in school, u hang round with some idiots and ive said sum nasty stupid sh!t. probably due to being on the recieving end most of the time, u jus wanna dish sum out.
however, im older, slightly wiser and see it as all bollocks as a way of dividing people into little groups. so i apologise for my past but have good hopes for my future. especially now im in uni, b4 uni and growing up i lived in a very white community so didnt see many asians or blacks. then i started going clubbing and realised were all the same and you shouldnt judge anyone until uve spoken to em, some people are d!ckheads some aint, but thats not to do with skin colour, jus them
anyways, found this little song on youtube which is quite entertaining, and predjudice can be funny, as long as its a joke and noone gets hurt. i mean how long has the "white men cant dance" thing been going round? but u shud see me on a dancefloor, im like the white james brown. hahahaha. JOKE!
Peace n love to all humankind
