    I really admire your moral courage. Few people dare to honestly look at their own prejudice and challenge it. Personally, I know I have a very negative image of people from the Middle East, and it bothers me. I think the key to fighting prejudicial thinking is to recognize it when it occurs. I mean, I can’t control which negatives images come to mind when I see a group of Arab immigrants on the street, but if I remind myself that they are stereotypical generalizations, I can prevent them from affecting my rational thinking and actions. Having experienced prejudice, I really don’t want to treat others that way. I want to see every person as a unique individual, and not judge them by their color, ethnicity, sexuality, gender or religion before getting to know them. But breaking free from society’s programming is a constant struggle.
