I know what you mean. Sometimes I wonder if I'm racist, although I just think I'm judgemental, not necessarily racist. I think we all have these preconceived judgements about people with out really realizing it. There are just certain types of people who I have lower tolerance for, but these aren't necessarily race issues but more like lifestyle issues. Although, sometimes there is a connection here. For instance, people who refuse to work, so they go on welfare, or women who have 4 or 5 kids and can't even take care of themselves, because of drugs/or irresponsibility etc are the ones I have trouble not judgeing. When I was in high school, this guy accused me of being a Nazi, thus hating Jews. I didn't really get his reasoning for this since I never made any anti-sematic comments- I didn't think. Apparently, because I'm German, I'm automatically a Nazi ??? Interesting concept I guess.
But yeah, people are just rude and ignorant etc. I do think we all have some deep-seeded unconfortability with certain races/actions of people etc.
