Would it be eye color, or hair color or physical stature or handicap/disability?

Is it just human nature to be hateful of anything different than ourselves?

Probably really tall people because they would stand out in a crowd.
Or.. a battle between left handed and right handed.

Unfortunately, it appears that human beings are determined to have an in-group and an out-group. We define ourselves by our being different (and supposedly better than) someone else.
There are simply GOBS of differences to pick on: speaking patterns or accents, educational achievement (or just where you went to school), athleticism, region of the country (or even the county), age, economic class, type of employment, mental health conditions, drinking & drug use conditions, criminal history, even how well you keep up your yard.
Even if we were to resolve the issues of race, religion, and sexual orientation, you'll find that people will always find a way to declare themselves separate. I hate to sound cynical, but until we get over this us vs. them mentality, we will always have social conflicts and wars to put our peace of mind and body in peril.

particular, it honestly is a hate crime and that they'd desire to be charged. regrettably however Catholics do no longer look to slot in with the dislike crimes standards in accordance to regulation enforcement. If it became into anybody else they may well be charged, you stated it your self. The regulation of course states: "contained concerning a assets crime, the valuables it fairly is the object of the crime, because of the honestly or perceived race, colour, faith . . .". So the subsequent question may well be WHY became into those human beings no longer charged?. the elementary answer is that's alright to attack Catholics and Anti Catholicism continues to be critical in society even in 2009. in simple terms look into various the solutions, ''that's purely a wafer'' might they say the comparable with regard to the Quran or Torah?. Or the comparable project happening in a mosque or synagogue?. NO they does no longer.

Hate is such a strong word.
I don't think I could hate anyone.
I thought I hated homosexuals until I got to know one. Then I thought she was pretty special.
She helped me through the death of my mother.
Now I know I don't hate them so how could I hate anyone.
I would never hate anyone because of their religion, that is such a personal thing.
I can't hate anyone because of hair color because when my girls were teens they had every hair color available and I'm sure some people thought they were strange. I actually thought about trying some of them too.
Sometimes I am unknowingly saying something predjudiced and then I can't really believe I said that because it is totally against what I believe. I don't know how that happens.

I don't hate anyone and no-one I know does. There are people I dislike - like Little Lying Johnny our Prime Minister -but Hate? No. It seems to me that those who talk about hate most of the time tend to be fundamentalist religious bigots. I don't know any of them other than those I see regularly on Y!A.

No, it is not human nature to hate...if it was children woud not naturally play with one another.
However, once their parents poison their minds...as we've seen here with the racists' questions....then they begin to hate.
That's a good question you asked because...that's exactly where we're headed....once more and more peoples start living in close proximity to one another.
I assume you've heard the phrase "the browning of America,"...well after that ends....it will be the "blackening of America."
We're going right back to the color where it all started.....before Africans migrated to other continents and began to change physically, adopting to the climate.

Oh, we'd hate anything that made someone else different from us. We constantly compare ourselves to others, and others to ourselves, in the hope that we will feel good about ourselves.
