Did you become more prejudice as you got older?

People say no one is born hating or racist. That it is taught. I was talking to a family member who was raised in a home that was not racist, the family is very liberal, we are a religious minority, and we grew up in a very diverse environment and had friends from many parts of the world. As she got older, and entered the workforce, she began to form stereotypes and generalizations about different ethnic groups to her own surprise. I don’t think she is racist, she gets to know an individual when she meets someone, and any generalizations she has are irrelavant. She also is not hateful, but as an adult she has become more and more aware of the differences between different ethnic groups, and sometimes judgemental.

What do you think about this?

Has this happened to any of you?
