I think a zombie of a racist who was strongly motivated by racism might retain the same habitual enmities despite no longer having much of a mind to hold them in. As Walrus Man points out, you wouldn't really need one.

if they don't like a certain race, would they want to turn them into zombies or would that just compound their issues?

so they'd probably want to attack their racial enemies, but not eat them, unaware of the potential to create new zombies that way. Ironic.

Do you think it's possible for a zombie to develop new prejudices, maybe due to mistreatment by a certain group of people?

and if they did revolt do you think they would maintain their prejudice after they had achieved justice

but the revolt would be driven by mob anger rather than conscious planning. And they might well hold onto grudges - though the idea of a zombie not resenting anybody is the tricky part.

That implies you can train a zombie by hitting it or bribing it, but OK, why not.
The ability to learn smacks a little bit too much of healthy, wholesome, living creature, and not of uncannily animated dead flesh, that's the only problem.
Edit: they should be only trainable in gruesome, harrowing ways.

and yes, they will be 'trained' with electric shocks and mechanical manipulation of tendons

Very awesome
So anyway, there's this boy and he sees a dead bird and he's curious so he gets closer and it looks strange it's almost possibly glowing a bit? and he doesnt know why but he picks it up to get a closer look and he doesnt think about it being dead its just a thing and as he looks closer the colour starts to change just a bit but then more and the feathers move slightly and a little hole appears somewhere in the bird's belly and it gets wider and the boy keeps looking and looking and the hole gets wider and he looks and a tendril slowly snakes out of the hole moving feeling the air and getting longer and it senses and it knows he's there and it reaches out and it touches his eye and the boy cant move and doesnt want to and the tendril starts pushing and pushing and sucking and soon its stuck there on his eye and it starts slowly sucking out his mind
and the bird's eye opens

That the chicken is looking vaguely concerned because it's just realised it left the oven on, and not because there is an army of tentacles growing out of its chest

I hate getting my hair cut as haircutters have great power to make you look like a twat, particularly if you have longish hair, which means that once I've found somewhere decent I don't want to go anywhere else but I can't really afford to keep going to the place I go to atm :/

Freestylers is great, but apart from that Sheffield has bugger all hairdressers for blokes :(
Right, that's enough metrosexual conversation for one night. I'm off to punch a seal and have sex with a truck, and other manly activities.
