My dad’s prejudices live in me.

Ray
Johnson, VT

My father had some reasonably strong prejudices against some groups, specifically African Americans, Jews and the Japanese. We butted heads over the issue when I was young, but despite the fact that I know that his generalized negative views against various groups are wrong, some of the things that he said when I was young stick with me, and sometimes I feel some of those prejudices pop up in my head, despite my own beliefs and experiences to the contrary. I know others who were similarly raised who also struggle with such issues well into adulthood.
