Prejudice

Saw Julian Clary TV programme where they have celebrities research their ancestry. He discovered a number of Germans in his mother's lineage and thought this funny as she has strong anti-German prejudices. He met with mother (nice old lady) and tried to soften blow by using word Prussian instead of German. She would have none of this and immediately referred to them as German. Not at all happy and was obviously anti-German as Julian described.
What I found interesting was that she, who as Clary's mum must have attracted considerable prejudice and bigotry, retained it for Germans.
He made a amusing remark whilst en-route to give her the 'good' news. He admitted certain amount of fear at her reaction. However, he said, "It's not as if I'm going to tell her I'm hetero-sexual"
I like the guy. He did a lot to open a number of closet doors by thrusting his sexuality in our faces in an amusing way so that we could examine our individual attitudes with no question as to our possible susceptibility. Just compare his approach with Buggermore; I know whom I'd rather swim with!
