Some people (you, apparently) have these associations, others (e.g. me) don’t. It’s quite prejudiced to assume that everyone has them.

- falcolas 6y agoIt's more likely that folks who claim to not have these associations simply haven't identified their unconscious biases yet. There is always a reason associations between mental traits and physical features exist, even if you're not consciously aware of it. EDIT: And to go a different direction, if someone truely doesn't make such associations... Now that they know some people do recognize those associations, just be polite and don't make such comments about people's appearance - be it skin color, hair color, height, weight, etc.
- tomp 6y agoI’d prefer if other people were polite and didn’t accuse others of racism over innocent remarks.
