Sure, but that also doesn't mean that gut instinct is always wrong either.....or more likely to be wrong.
Not suggesting its 100% right, but to tar it all with the same prejudice brush is not right either.

Policework (at least historically) relied on gut instincts to point people in the right direction when reading people and/or solving cases. They used that well trained gut to sniff out a direction to help them gather evidence to prove their gut correct.
You tell a cop that he is prejudice in the same manner you did with LP and see how that works out for ya.  :o

There should be a word (i'm sure the germans have one) for a well-trained gut that is largely correct. Again, this is not specific to LP and his assertions about Coon etc, just in general terms.

Its called intuition I believe.

Not prejudice or bias.  Prejudice or bias declares an outcome and then will exclude facts until it arrives at the desired outcome.  Its actually a different phenomenon, and my point was made to support yours not go against it.  I think Mav interpreted it the way he wanted to in support of his own point, which there is nothing wrong with that, but its an example of what Im talking about.
