I so do not want to hijack this thread, but: I really have to wonder what people like Herman Cain and Juan Williams are thinking when they openly and clearly state that they are prejudiced toward people because of their appearance, having themselves no doubt been heavily subject to that very same prejudice. There are two ways to respond to prejudice directed toward you: 1) reject such prejudice and appreciate that people have different backgrounds, upbringings and views of the world or 2) redirect that prejudice toward a weaker group. We know which course they chose. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bachmann-announces-shes-running/585382)._
