Racism

[Malagor the dank omen]

BTW, here's another question: what is the line between being scared of certain people who superficially act like they fulfill a certain stereotype and being flat-out racist? Is there any?

On this, i do something that has helped me quite a lot since i was in college: On broad terms, follow the stereotypes (gypsies are thieves, furries are degenerates, warhammer fans are spergs...) but on a person to person basis, always assume they are a exception to the rule until proven otherwise.

Stereotypes exist for a reason and are quite damn useful, but if you let yourself be guided by those you will end up very bad.
