[...] people are ableist. It's like saying white people are racist; it's not that they're all spouting hate speech and many are trying to be allies, but it's the microaggressions that they don't pick up on because society as a whole programmed them that way. It's not necessarily their fault, but it's something they have to unpack and unlearn.

And everyone has classist and sexist viewpoints as well. Much of the sexist drivel I heard was from women. You know how often I've seen women put down or dehumanize a man (usually who was not present, or even towards me) for not conforming to her idea of "masculine"?You know how we're all filled-up with classist viewpoints? How everyone has issues that fall under subclinical mental health in their life, but then deny it in themselves and see it only in others?

Recently I came across this letter to the Times penned by none other than Martin Scorsese, a week after Fellini’s death. It elucidates, in no uncertain terms, why the “Cultural Vegetables” argument is so dangerous, because it so often leads to (or stems from) intolerance and ignorance.
Its aftermath can reach the Earth’s farthest corners. Yet prejudice is conceived in the silent confines of the human mind.

prejudice (n.) c. 1300, "despite, contempt," from Old French prejudice "a prejudice, prejudgment; damage" (13c.) and directly from Medieval Latin prejudicium "injustice," from Latin praeiudicium "prior judgment, judicial examination before trial; damage, harm," from prae- "before" (see pre-) + iudicium "judgment," from iudex (genitive iudicis) "a judge" (see judge (n.)).[2]
Prejudice is preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.[3]
