Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    People are judged more on their behavior than their gender identity or race.

      That’s probably true.

      But you have to spend at least a little time with someone to judge their behavior.

      The problem is that people are pre-judged based on their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or lack thereof, nation of origin, first language, and a boatload of other things purely based on these factors without any personal contact or observation of their behavior.

      Hence the word prejudice.

      Likewise, people take the misbehavior of one or a small group and and apply it to everyone with the same characteristic.

      Hence prejudice and stereotyping.

      And there are many people out there whose behavior can be described as: judging others’ character based on superficial qualities such as gender presentation or race.

      And my judgement of that behavior is that those people should be shamed and educated.
