That's just life, isnt it? I feel that way about pretty much everyone.

On a serious note, I would find it difficult to feel that way about, for instance, an entire nation of people, or everyone who is attached to a particular religion. I have never witnessed a culture, country or faith that is that consistent.

For example, I met a French bloke the other day who was genuinely good company. This reaffirms my faith that one day I will meet an Australian that I can abide.

Easy to say when you've got somewhere else to go, I guess. My wife grew up poor as a young white girl in a predominantly Pakistani part of Bradford. She had no option but to stay, work hard at school and eventually get to university.
Many would probably describe her views of the muslim community in Bradford as racist. However, they are based on her years of bitter experience of living amongst a closed-off, unhygienic, misogynistic, lawless, deeply exclusionist and bigoted culture that regarded her as rather less than human purely by virtue of the fact that she was white, non-muslim and female.

So, when all your experiences of an ethnic group tell you they're cùnts, is it racist to think that maybe - just maybe - they are cùnts?
