53. discriminating based on factors of which one is ignorant
Edited on Wed Nov-22-06 11:34 AM by skypilot
Interesting point. When I was eighteen and waiting tables, one of my co-workers would spout off about "obnoxious Jews" whenever he encountered an unpleasant customer. I always wondered--and still kinda wonder--how he knew they were Jewish. He was kind of a jackass and I suspect that in his mind onboxiousness and Jewishness were somehow linked so he didn't let his ignorance of the person's ethnicity or religion stop him from spewing.
