IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

Me (white) with toddler in a pushchair (black)Neighbour: will she be able to speak English?
Me: Errr, she IS English
Neighbour: Yes, but their mouths are different from ours, aren't they?
And this was in a wealthy middle-class neighbourhood, mind you.

Aren't they the sort of people most likely to be that kind of ignorant?I know someone who had never even seen a non-white person in real life until she went to university due to excessive middle classery.

Don't be silly, they're far too well bred to ever be considered ignorant.(

I had never met a non-white person until I went to Uni. Not because I was middle class but because I lived in the middle of fucking nowhere.
No non-white people at my primary or secondary schools. Or in my local town. I can still clearly remember the first non white person I ever talked to.
