As I...I think that's being a wee bit semantic. As I understand it a prejudice is a dislike not based on reason. If it's merely a matter of taste that suggests to me that it's not a reasoned issue. In this case it's also a dislike you have chosen to make public. Surely ergo it is prejudice. Not that me being jumperist or you being yellowist matters one jot or whittle in the greater scheme of things.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-486269332971910542012-04-29T21:53:51.146+01:002012-04-29T21:53:51.146+01:00Sorry sorry sorry, Martine!Sorry sorry sorry, Martine!Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-29154452853245377382012-04-29T17:00:49.324+01:002012-04-29T17:00:49.324+01:00I love my yellow jumper, it is soft primrose yello...I love my yellow jumper, it is soft primrose yellow, knitted on purpose because I didn't own anything yellow. i think it is an unfairly maligned colour:-)<br />thanks for sharing<br />martinemartinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260048849955077472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-80947845377765118602012-04-29T16:46:13.840+01:002012-04-29T16:46:13.840+01:00Which goes to show you're on my side, Maggie!Which goes to show you're on my side, Maggie!Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-73077064711599427152012-04-29T16:45:21.973+01:002012-04-29T16:45:21.973+01:00GB, it's not prejudice.

If I were to want to wear a yellow or a light blue jumper (which, for the record, I certainly would not) then I think it unfortunate that there should be such prejudice. After all it is not pc to be ageist, sexist, genderist and, I'm sure, most other ists. So how is it ok to be yellowist?<br /><br />Oh. I've just realised. Hoist with mine own petard.
