I have always being fascinated with this. Coming from India, we are presumed to hate people from Pakistan. However, every single time I have met a Pakistani, it has been a pleasure. I do not want to go into politics or anything else. A simple question: As a normal Indian citizen, I have no hatred against any normal Pakistani citizen. Have you ever felt severe hatred against an entire nationality? If yes, why? And if not, what is the most ridiculous stereotypical hatred you are expected to show? No politics and religions please. Straight up answers. If you want a discussion, we can always go to Backroom.

I'm pretty sure this will need to go to the 'other place'. :-)

Klingons, I hate Klingons. Other than that I get along with everyone else.

Hatred based on grouping is the most irrational and ridiculous weakness of the human condition. Unfortunately it is part of our makeup. In prehistory, it probably served us well, distrust of the next tribe over was probably not a bad thing for the survival of our tribe. We are also adept at grouping together against a shared enemy. It can be seen as a kind of "proof by induction" feedback loop. In today's society, grouping are not as easily defined as back then. It might now be sex, sexual orientation, race or even sporting teams. When this hatred gets entrenched through generations it becomes almost impossible to break and membership of the enemy group is excuse enough for violence: Violence begets violence and on it goes. Fortunately there are many of us who are capable of rising above our baser instincts and there are usually laws in place for those that can't. When I was young, the main race hatred in Britain was against black people, mainly from the Caribbean. "Indians" were respected (they weren't that numerous) and they were "from the Empire". After waves of immigration and escalating Muslim tensions that hatred was turned against "Pakis" and everyone from the Indian subcontinent was caught in the latest waves of racism, regardless of ethnicity or religion. Some politicians were quick to jump on that bandwagon and stir up racial hatred. In my life, I've seen this same phenomenon in The Promised Land, Cyprus, Ireland, India, Australia, Africa, Eastern Europe and the U.S.. It seems my friend, as a species, we are doomed to continue committing the same mistakes. Peace!

I am certain you took some time typing this. I have lived in England and I have dealt with the "hatred" once. They were idiots. I had wonderful company at office and nearby restaurants. I was amazed why 3 goons(read retarded f*cks) hated me just because I was Indian (I can only guess). They probably had no rational doing so other than being a prick at local bar.

On my way to school every morning, I used to pass a Hindu lady with a young child in a pushchair. We always used to smile and wish each other "Good morning". Simpler times!

I'm not much of a trekky, but something tells me that, the experience of, inter breeding with Klingons may be similar to what a male Mantis experiences after mating.

That's what the magic brownies are for to chill them out!
