(29,919 posts)I'm bigoted towards sociopaths not that I wouldn't be fair to them at first or around in general but in I was in the position, only if I had much more than an "educated guess", I'd be far less likely to rent a home or hire. Only because you can't win, make things easier makes it harder for everyone around them, there is no "talking things through", or them being fair to you you can be locked up in a prison halfway around the world over something they did they go on with no guilt weighing them down or coming back and "clearing things up". Basically I'd be unfair in that regard, I'd be telling a lie if I said differently.
Republicans, not really. A lot of them for sure, a lot. But I always hear them out first. It is after hearing the ideas, stances, actions is when I strongly (I don't think unfair, I live in a city full of them). Evangelicals, definitely but I almost never run into someone who claims they aren't religious so again, I'm around them all the time. Well, I guess you could say Mormons, I mean the bikes, coming to your door, Russell Pearce (Mormon who is one of the most public open racists in recent history). The ideas, politics, and bigoted beliefs and practices.
I'm giving an honest answer best I can so maybe but unlike a Mormon or Republican I wouldn't discriminate against them like I would a sociopath but a lot of the traits, ideas, & actions have some overlap. I have been open minded, friendly, from people all over the world in place half way around the word when most of the very same people I were with would treat like dog shit, assume nefarious intentions on their part, etc. Those kind of people i tend to become more bigoted towards, the bigots.
