Are You Prejudiced?

Definition:
prejudice
|ˈprejədəs|
noun
1 preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.


My thoughts on the matter:

If you decide not to vote for a candidate, just because that candidate is black, you are prejudiced.

If you decide instead to vote for a candidate, specifically because that candidate is black, you are just as prejudiced as the previous case.

If you decide not to vote for a candidate, just because that candidate is a woman, you are prejudiced.

If you decide instead to vote for a candidate, specifically because that candidate is a woman, you are just as prejudiced as the previous case.

If you decide not to vote for a candidate, just because that candidate is a <insert religion here>, you are prejudiced.

If you decide instead to vote for a candidate, just because that candidate is a <insert religion here>, you are just as prejudiced as the previous case.

Are you prejudiced?
