I am a breedist
« on: Today at 06:50:16 AM »
Some breeds of dogs I like better then others. Same about other breeds of animals
Some I like dislike or find to be unsavory. I feel the same about some breeds errrr races :)
I can tolerate and even get along with some of every  breed or race on a case by case bases.

       Preconceived ideas of other ethnic groups usually cause negative attitudes, unintentioanally.

       I have met, on a one to one bases, a goodly number of other than Northern Europe ethnic persons, and when
I was very young, for those who were totally new to me, Usually I just saw them as a learning experience, BUT, those for whom
I already had preconceived notion, that they were not what I expected them to be was, often , a pleasant surprise.
     
      When I was, I met my first American Indian, and all I saw was the Hollywood Western bad guy indian, when I spoke to him, including telling
him I was an American and he was not. He said "Yes I am and I actually asked Dad if that were true. After that, he was very nice to
Us, and taught me a HUGE lesson as a youth.

        Sadly some over sea ethnic person for whom my earlier meets gave me a very good impression has been strongly altered by
recent events, but such is life. :(

I agree with your concept if that is what it is. Some groups I have a general dislike for. But like Bob taken on a one on one case meeting basis I judge them only as they present themselves. Trying to judge an entire peoples as bad as a group is generally a bad thing.

There are multiple groups, some say races, but I recognize only one race of beings called human beings, that as a group I truly dislike and want no association with. But most of the time when I have met individuals from those groups I found it pleasant to be around them. That changed my opinion of that individual but not of the larger group they represent.
