When I was doing my psychology masters with some people who wanted to do clinical psychology afterwards, I was at a party and one of them shouted "don't let the schizophrenic in!" over and over. I asked wtf that was about and she said that there was this guy in her halls who talked to himself and was "weird" and so she didn't want him to come to the party. And I said, but that doesn't make him schizophrenic!? And that I thought she wanted to become a clinical psychologist and work with MI?? So this other girl, who also wanted to become a clinical psychologist, said "well, it's one thing to work with THEM, but another thing to socialise with them!"

If I'd have been braver, I'd have outed myself, told them to go F themselves and left...but I chickened out and just never spoke to them again... :/
