I am a straight, young white women, raised in a household that taught me to love others for their differences.
Well, I have come to notice that because of this upbringing, I cannot stand to associate with"openly" racist people, or anyone that discriminates others because of their differences. I find the things that they say sometimes to be offensive and I can't handle it. And I have zero tolerance for HATE CRIMES. I've ended relationships with guys because they were racist.
Racism and Gay Bashing, or any other Prejudice are hate driven. But does it make me prejudice if I choose NOT to associate with those who are Racist or Discriminate against others? Am I a bad person for hating other people because of their Racist or gay hating beliefs? Does this make me no better than them? Or is it ok to hate them becuase I truly believe their hate is not justified, and is unacceptable?
