Too fat, too short, too skinny or too tall. Brown, black or yellow skin. Wider nose, rougher hair, oriental eyes. A Jew, a Gipsy, a Chinese, a "Negro". A girl with girlfriend or a guy with boyfriend. A geek, a policeman, a poor.
Let's just exclude all of them from society.
'Cause every Rom is a swindler, no policeman can have brain and Chinese are definitely less valuable people. If you are fat from Burger King, you are also out -- can't belong to Us, us with capital "u". Calling somebody a "Jew" or a "Negro" is abusive in itself, so what do you want with such origins?! Want to marry your girlfriend, you, as a woman?! Oh, gosh! Eager beaver in school? Go away! No money for stylish stuffs? What a shame!
Let's just exclude all of them from Us. From Us, from 'normal people'.
But since when does your birth place can issue who you are? Since when does your blood decides your being good or not? Since when does loving your own gender makes you a worse person? Since when does having less money indicates your being of a lower value? Since when does a 'worse' outlook means a worse personality? Since when...?!
Since when can people judge others so superficially -- according to prejudices and stereotypes?

Unfortunately we are full of prejudice but on Others' eyes we are the Others. I think the most beautiful in the world is that every people is different, individual and original.
I totally agree with you, Léda. ;)
Good questions there -- with "since when." Of course, we know the answer: ever since humans started to form civilizations. Seems like people just can't exist without stereotype and prejudice. In terms of how long -- do you see any hope that such discrimination will become a thing of the past?
Thanks for the comment, Joe! You also formed a good question.:) Unfortunately, it really seems like stereotypes and prejudice are parts of human beings; and I don't think they will ever leave us -- I just wish they would.
But I think humans should, and hopefully will become more open and tolerant.
