A Little Prejudiced

Hindu Kush is a little prejudiced. I think we all are at least a little. The trick is not letting your prejudices have their head and rule your actions. When I was in school Prejudice was what we called racism. I don't think they are the same thing at all. Prejudice is pre judging some one or something. I won't eat tomatoes, I have no idea what tomatoes taste like. I just pre-judged them because I don't like their looks. To be a bigger man I should try them and see if I really do like them, but the prejudice has deep roots and I can't bring myself to do it.
Racism would be if I actively tried to destroy tomatoes and keep others from eating them. Yes they are related, but as I said I don't think they are the same. Neither is good, I get it, but sometimes we have to learn. I’m 65, I don't think I'll ever get over my tomato prejudice, but maybe Hindu Kush will get over her prejudice.
