You may wonder how to keep people interested in supporting you when you clearly have racist, sexist or ageist tendencies. I'm not condoning anyone having such tendencies of course, but I will clearly show you how to keep minions happy.
Say for example that you have an unreasonable and prejudicial dislike for 'gingers' as the British call them.
Most people would know them as red-heads. You, however are terrified of them and hate them with a passion. Should anyone find out about this weakness, your quest could possibly be doomed. On the other hand people might form an army with you (much like back in Hitler's time) - march on all unsuspecting red-headed people and shave them bald.
The above scenario is extremely unlikely, so you will need my good advice. I have excellent advice at all times. Although that is what my Grandmother used to say and now she's dead - not such good advice there eh? I digress...
You can have this hatred of red-heads and survive within the bounds of normality for as long as possible, but one day someone will say "You hate red-heads don't you?"
DO NOT BLUSH
You must be able to look them in the eye and tell the boldest of bald lies. (And yes, the spelling there is 100% correct) You must say
"Red-heads? (or 'three legged people' or 'gypsies' - you get my point) - My best friend is a red-head how can I hate them?!"
If the person you're speaking to knows you well, tweak it a bit.
"One of my best friends is a red-head. No, you won't know them, they live in Scotland, yeah"
Most people haven't been to Scotland. If you are acquainted with someone who has been to Scotland it is now time for you to take your leave of this course. It was nice knowing you.
