Do you discriminate?

Question

Do you discrminate against any or all of the following:

Blacks,
Latinos,
Asians,
Whites,
Women,
Men,
Elderly folk,
College students,
Physically handicapped people,
Mentally handicapped people,
Poor people,
Rich people,
Middle-class people,
Homosexual people,
Heterosexual people,
Fat ones,
Skinny ones,
Smokers,
People who smoke pot,
People on hard drugs,
Republicans, or
Democrats?

By discriminate, I mean you would be less likely to hire, date/marry, be friendly to, or associate in any way with them solely because of their status, and/or you would be more likely to make fun of, physically harrass, ignore, give bad service to, or be mean in any way to them solely because of their status.

Please be honest. I am not going to preach here, this is just for a personal project and your name/username will not be mentioned in it.

Answer 1

No, and I have some very heated discussions with people regarding this same subject. I be live all people desire and deserve respect regardless of what you may think of them or their circumstances. My very best friend thinks I am a very unique and unusual human being. Personally, I think the whole world should feel this way. We are all human and all have a purpose here. God bless

Answer 2

I think my upbringing is such that I was never "taught" how to look at others in any way other than how I look at myself. To me people are people and I truly feel that it would go against my nature and better judgement of course, to be anything other than tolerant of all people.

If say a smoker offended me...I would be offended by the smoke (act) not the person, the person could very well be a fabulous individual that I may very well become a friend with so why miss out on that opportunity simply to be an ignorant, crass boob. That goes for any race, creed, religion or sexual orientation...

Short answer, no I am not prejudice I see people not labels and I see opportunities for friendship/relationships not condemnation/ridicule.

Good question

Answer 3

Blacks=Yes. I feel if you want to be treated the same, act the same. I don't like when they act "black". They all don't, I know. I am sure that I am wrong for this. I just hate when they talk ebonics & act like some do & they b**** because they are treated differently.
Latinos=No.
Asians=No.
Whites=Only hygenically dirty, careless, unemployed white people. I guess I hate the "dirties" of any race.
Women=No.
Men=Somewhat I fear them.
Elderly folk=I get annoyed with them very easily, unfortunately.
College students=Somewhat, but I'm not really sure why.
Physically handicapped people=Only when they use it as an excuse for pity or attention.
Mentally handicapped people=No.
Poor people=No.
Rich people=Just the ones who were given their money or think they are better than everyone else.
Middle-class people=No.
Homosexual people=Nope, I'm one.
Heterosexual people=No.
Fat ones=I am if they are dirty & don't shower. I feel mostly like they should take care of themselves.
Skinny ones=No.
Smokers=No.
People who smoke pot=I don't hate them, but I think they will have a few less brain cells when they are done.
People on hard drugs=Yes. I think they made the decision to do drugs & their kids/family will feel the pain for it. They are selfish.
Republicans=I hate all politicians.
Democrats=See above answer.

Answer 4

Jews are discriminated in all nations, besides the USA ( wherein they conceal at the back of the White label, even supposing they're NOT whites) Argentinians additionally discriminate Mapuches, and Mexicans additionally discriminate any Indigenous organization within the Southern rural places. Cubans are all combination, they all are Mulatos or Mestizos, But whilst Fidel overthrew Batista, Discrimination towards blacks was once abolished. In the USA we discriminate every different day-to-day.

Answer 5

yes I do. I look down on people who refuse to work and would rather keep having children and living on the system. I was born into this and have risen above it. I just don't understand people who don't try to better themselves. So yes I do treat the white trash people of society different. Not the children because they didn't ask to be born into it but to the adult that refuse to do anything about it. I will not help them because I only help those out who try to help themselves.

Also I do not respect drug users. They are weak that is all there is to it. I deal with every day life just fine with out drugs and I have had anything but a perfect life so why can't they. I think they are childish, weak, irresponsible people that need to grow up and stop being a burden on society.

Answer 6

Yes, in the following order:
I would be less likely to date/marry a woman because she is a woman (I like guys more). I do like women as friends, employees, coworkes, etc - especially strong, intelligent, capable women.
I would be more likely to give good service to Elders & people living with physical or mental disabilities, soley based on their status.
I would be less likely to date/marry someone with a mental disability which influenced their personality in a negative manner. I would also be less likely to hire a person who had a mental disability which influenced their job performance negatively.
I would be more likely to date/marry a person who is considered overweight, because I think it's sexy.
I would be less likely to date/marry a smoker because I don't like the smell or taste.
I would be unlikely to hire or date/marry a person who uses hard drugs because I feel that this would negatively impact their effort and effectiveness at a job and I don't want to be in a dating relationship with someone who uses hard drugs.
I would be less likely to date/marry someone who is a Republican, because we would be politically mis-aligned and would have very different opinions and values. I would probably not be close friends with a Republican, due to different values and opinions. I do make fun of Republicans behind their backs to people who didn't know them (so that it won't actually hurt their feelings by getting back to them).

Answer 7

Nope but my 17 (today) year old daughter does, and when she played her cd that made name calling of minorites and people with diabilities, I just said NO.

No way, not in my car, not in my home......and NO!

so now she lives with her father...and she's in counseling for slashing/self-mutilation, because I got a court order to get her help...when you bash others,it's because you don't feel good about yourself.
..........unless they are hurting you, then you have a right to talk back and say STOP!...and walk away...sometimes run!

I believe I am as equal as the next person...not more,..and not less!

Answer 8

To discriminate is not wrong, except when it violates the rights of people. You discriminate all the time---in the things that you eat, in the music that you listen to, in the type of employment you prefer, in the area of the country you choose to live, etc. It is when discrimination is applied in a hateful manner that it is immoral.

Answer 9

I would say a little with people who smoke only because it give me headaches and they seem to be outside where ever I have to walk. I don't like it and it totally stinks. I don't like to be around people who abuse or use illegaly drugs. It always ends in disaster. Thats it.

Answer 10

yes: rich people, people on hard drugs and republicans

i'm not fond of the ganja because it makes everyone i know dopey and boring, but i have no problem with it otherwise.

and i wouldn't say i discriminate against fat people, but when someone's like over 300 pounds i think that gluttonous and i don't condone it.
