How do you personally discriminate others?
 

I agree with the non-asian liking manga thing, since I am half-asian XD
So I'll go with that, lol

I like manga and anime, so I'd better steer clear of you.

Well...I'm pale skinned, and I was raised in a white community (not neo-Nazi or KKK, just white) from the time I was small, so I get nervous around darker skinned people. Not quite "OMG that black dude's gonna rob me!" but...yeah. ): I hate that I get so jumpy around people who aren't as light-skinned as I am, but I can't seem to stop it. I do try to be conscientious of how I act, and try not to seem like I'm clutching my purse or something.

Also...I HATE it when ANYONE uses the word "kawaii~!" online. >8 I also hold extreme dislike for Sonic the Hedgehog fans, despite being a former fan myself.

I'm really scared of men and trucks. Like, I know it's weird, and it's not all men, but strangers. I hate walking to school alone because everyone I see over 15 with a Y chromosome, I assume is going to try to rape me, or something. It's completely unreasonable, and there is no trauma in my life that might make this reasonable. I suppose watching Law and Order SVU since I was in middle school didn't help.

Also, when someone has high self esteem and is not perfect, I get really angry. I kind of want them to be ashamed of their imperfections, I guess.

Damn, I'm a horrible person.

@Super: Lol! I don't mind much for high self-esteem unless they bother me about it continuously. xD

It's quite sad. I somewhat fall into the category you dislike...and I completely don't blame you. XD;;; I can't stand the word "kawaii" even in PROPER CONTEXT because so goddamn many people have screamed it over things that aren't even remotely cute in my presence.

But I will confess to slipping out many foreign words, mostly Japanese, when there's no equivalent to them in English. Or when I was drilling myself on a language in my head...I've answered simple questions in the language I was thinking in. That was usually Japanese too. I admit it. :sweat:

As for my prejudice issues...men scare me. Not all men, but mainly Caucasian males, roughly my height or taller, my age or a little older...average build, they freak me the fuck out. I can't help it.

I had a couple...rather traumatic incidents in elementary school that I don't really feel like going into right now. But long story short, any man who reminds me of anyone from this one group of some of my old classmates...scares the living shit out of me and repulses me on sight.

Also, I get nervous around Asian people. A lot of the people I know seem to think that I'm completely fluent in Japanese and Mandarin (I know a good bit of Japanese, though I'm FAR from fluent, and I'm JUST learning Mandarin), so for some reason I always feel like they've been told to expect more from me than I'm capable of...even if I'm far, FAR away from where the people who think too highly of my language skills live.

I judge people by the clothes they wear. It's not such a bad thing to do, imo, because it does say a lot about you.

But still, I'm trying to be more openminded ._.

I hate the following people

Idiots. They drive me mad on a daily basis.

Beggars on MMORPGS (go earn your own money it isn't that hard).

People who pretend to have Aspergers when they have never had an assessment and trust me only a professional who specialises in the Autism Spectrum can diagnose Aspergers.

People who stereotype me with the "classic" Autism when they find out that I have Aspergers. They are complete and opposite ends of the Autism spectrum but too many people confuse the two and won't listen when someone says otherwise.

Bullies. I got bullied pretty hard at school and if I ever see those people again I will be giving them the same treatment they gave me.

People who try and pretend to be something they're not just to "fit in".

Jehovahs Witnesses, and others, who tell me I'm going to Hell just because I don't share their beliefs. I was Christened as a Christian but my beliefs often deviate from the Bible so technically I'm Christian but I'm not in many ways. Go peddle your crap somewhere else please.

D&B, Handel's music, a lot of modern chart stuff, hip hop, rap, music with way too much bass actually hurts my ears and I have to go away from the source of the pain.

Drunk people also tend to upset me. I tend to avoid drunk people I don't know. Thankfully my friends can't/won't drink so that's pretty good. I avoid busy pubs for that reason.

lol screaming stuff in different languages is kinda retarted. But who cares really? Its about just as silly when Japanese people do it, and I hear them say random English stuff in songs alot. Its kinda stupid if you ask me :XD

I dont really discriminate anyone.. Well, I hate being around people that stink. Or people that breath heavily. And I also hate to have people following me around.

Oh and one time I was in Amsterdam when a guy with a beard shaped like Captain Davy Jones's head came by. How can I not make a joke about that?

Other than that, I am not (deliberately) a racist.

I have issues with stupid people.

My friend cannot, for the life of her, understand a sentence if I make a single typo or slip on a word.

I don't speak with big word purely because I always find people don't get it. And I STILL find myself explaining things a lot.

I have no tolerance for idiocy. If you're not naturally intelligent, go grab a dictionary or an encyclopedia.

I also have a little trouble dealing with a few of the people in my classes. These are the people who are very smart, and have grades that rival mine, and they're also amazing 3-season athletes and have social lives that entail more than leaving the house once a week. The people that don't have to try, and everything comes to them. Why do they get 5 talents, and I get one?

I discriminate against people who are hypocrites or discriminate against others, making me twice the hypocrite =D?
But I agree with most of the stuff Lanackse said =3

@Lanackse: I don't even believe Asperger's is a real disorder at all. It's just a way of thinking that trades one strength of sets for another, the way I see it. Einstein supposedly had it...pretty severe too. My mom suspects me of having it (since my social skills in real life royally suck and I'm REALLY GOOD at focusing my energy on certain things), but...personally, whether I do or not, I don't care. I think the way I think, and I LIKE who I am. I don't think I have it (actually, I highly doubt I do - you'd be socially awkward too if you had the experiences I had in elementary school :sweat:) and I don't claim to have it...because I don't really classify it as anything bad. If I have it, I'm me, if I don't, I'm me. And I hate when people have to lie about having a mental "disorder" to sound cool. Because really, it just makes you sound retarded...literally.

Also, I know plenty of people who HAVE been diagnosed with Asperger's...and honestly, I wouldn't have known if they hadn't told me. I've met people with social issues FAR worse than any of theirs. It drives me crazy when people think it's one of those horrible impairments that makes you into a drooling moron.

So I can say...I share in your hatred of those ones. And...most of the others you listed, too, come to think of it. Beggars are why I've all but given up MMOs. :illgetu:

@Sagitar: OMG STFU FANGIRL! *shot* Kidding, kidding.

Seriously, though...honestly, I don't get the difference either. All I know is that...I'm sick to death of being called names because I watch anime (sometimes), listen to Japanese music, write JRock lyrics. All because A FEW PEOPLE...cannot stop screaming misused words at everything. >.<;

I don't know why people who use foreign languages OTHER than Japanese aren't looked down upon as much. In other parts of the world, I know it's damn common.

**gives Phantom a big hug for knowing exactly where she's coming from**

I get discriminated by employers because of it and it drives me nuts when they do it. My senses are well heightened and it's kind of annoying sometimes when I hear a noise or something that actually hurts me and no one understands that it does physically hurt me.

Sorry I'm ranting now :sweat:

I discriminate people [mostly women] on how much makeup their wear, how small their clothes are, and how they act around people around them. Or just personalities in general.

I also hate it when a guy decides to touch my leg, I tell them to stop, and they do it more. :C
