This is a question 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.

I have just this moment realised I am prejudiced about students
I was reading all the stories and feeling a little blue as I'm not really prejudiced against anyone/thing, which meant I couldn't post a story. Ha.

Then I read Dwarfsmuggler's gripe below, about people who talk like this??? All the time??? And it got me thinking???

I was the only one out of my yam yam speaking mates to not go to uni, which meant I noticed all the more clearly when they would come back for half terms/holidays and would speak like this??? Regardless of the fact that they all went to different Uni's, every single one would come back talking like that, and every single one had also picked up the annoying habit of trying to keep their mouths as still as possible while talking. Therefore I have deduced that it is a University installed accent...or they're trying to invent their own language because, you know??? Students are, like, the most important people in the world??? And if anyone can do it, they can??? Because students are, you know, like, so much better than you???

Bloody students and your stupid ways of talking. You went away for a month and a half and came back talking like a twat. So that's why I am prejudiced against students; that stupid bastard student accent.

My sincere apologies for length/irrelevance. I have a cold and it's sent everything sideways...

I always think yamyams and Brummies sound really thick
I know that they're no thicker than the rest of the country, but i'd never employ a Brummie or yamyam, simply because of their accent.

Well - I think this applies to anyone common, really.

Not all Brummies/yamyams are common
I dated a girl from Solihull. She was quite posh, well brought up, intelligent and pleasant.

However, she sounded thicker than fudge.
