Prejudice"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

At 2 years old I made a terrible faux-pas, to say the leastI live in a little Irish village, and apart from this incident I probably didn't see a black person until age 10 (and that guy was a legend).
I broke my arm at age 2, and stunned and bawling I was brought into hospital. I remember nothing of having a broken arm at all, but my mam tells me that the first doctor to come in was black, one of the darkest complexions. Already scared by being in pain I started screaming and wouldn't let him touch me, and they had to send for another doctor.
In one way the innocence is cute, but not very comfortable for my parents at the time...
