The Foolishness of Prejudice and Generalisation

Here's a funny story to show the foolishness of prejudice and generalisation, one of many stories shared by Dr Brad H Young in class...

An American man stood up in a bus, walked up to a Korean man, and slaped him. The Korean man was shocked and asked, 'What was that for?' The American said, 'For Pearl Harbour!' The Korean man said, 'But that was the Japanese; I am Korean!' The American responded, 'Japanese, Korean, you Asians are all the same...'

Then one other man observing the incident got up and hit a Jewish man on the head. The Jewish man looked at him bewildered and ask, 'What was that for?' The man replied, 'For the Titanic.' 'The Titanic, sir,' the Jewish man responded - even more bewildered. 'What on earth did I have to do with the sinking of the Titanic?' To that the man responded, 'Goldberg, Iceberg, you Jews are all the same...'
