I find it shaming how the media is able to brainwash whole generations of people, and how members of said group post on forums defending their flawed belief system. I HOPE those who post are voicing their public status quo rather than their private beliefs and their actions in real life do not go on to further stigmatise subject group.

I remember in college once being told by a lecturer of genetics that "black" people have problems with flying and that "asian" people can't drink high volumes of alcohol, I wonder when he came to marking the exam papers of black and asian students in his class whether his underlining beliefs surfaced in any way.
