When it comes to being prejudice ....
Have you ever noticed that the people you're most apt to mock or make disparaging comments and remarks about are the ones you find obnoxious or imposing or menacing?
Those are the ones you're most likely to make racist or sexist comments about. Or make fun of their looks, or weight, or social status.
On the other hand, you'll notice that when you have a great degree of reverence for someone it doesn't matter what kind of "defect" or "imperfection" that person has. You simply conveniently overlook it. Such persons are too valuable and too much of a "saving grace" to be focusing on such pettiness.
You save all your underlying judgmentalisms for the ones you consider to be "obstacles" or "menaces".
