And this is the point. Prejudice is natural and even required in life. If a snake has a particular pattern or head shape you know its poisonous. If a spider has an hourglass or fiddle on its back you know to avoid it. If food smells a certain way you know it has gone bad. Showing prejudice in these ways are a protection.
People judge you by the way you dress and carry yourself. I’m a black man and I’ve never experienced overt racism. But then again I carry myself in a certain manner. No black man has ever robbed someone wearing khakis and a polo shirt, for example. People judge you for how you look it’s natural. Blacks who dress like hoodlums and complain about profiling are like people dressed in clown suits complaining
that no one takes them seriously.

Liked your entire posting! Thanks for being a FReeper.
If you are a betting man, I'll give you pretty good odds for every dime I have on that one.
Takes a special kind of idiot to say that.
