    Ok, sorry to derail, but that is bollocks. Just because you know more does not change your human reactions, just the fom they appear in, thus you will still have prejudice, it might be wrapped up in a well written book though, instead of poorly constructed sentences.

    The most dangerous bigots are the ones with a uni education.

    I'm quite bigoted against people who have every form of access to information and choose to remain ignorant. But I consider that quite a different thing from, for example, being bigoted against someone just because of the race or social class they were born into, or what nation their parents came from.

    You could say someone who has a strong negative reaction to wifebeaters is bigoted, also... *shrug*
