Yes, I agree.
When 'you' get to know folks, you have a much better chance to have a better read on them.
As an aside, my mom is 88 & has had her own subtle prejudices.
Since they have been making commercials with Black & mixed families, its amazing to watch her see them through different lenses. Guess what, they are just like us ;))
I've pointed this out to her & said its a shame companies & others didn't utilize this venue long ago.
And reminded her, 'we' had no choice of our race, it was the luck of the sperm.
She also had trouble with 'gays' getting married.
I've helped her grow in this area also, with discussions about equal rights.
My dad was like an Archie Bunker type. My first boyfriend was Italian/Irish, but he was an olive skinned Italian. When my dad saw him, (he was an altar boy) he asked when I was going to bring home one of my own kind...
Its amazing I am who I am ;)))
DO SOMETHING!
