I found myself doing it. I was a much younger at the time though. When I was at high school, we had this new kid start who was from Sweden. My Dad (for some stupid reason known only to him) hated Swedes. He was Finnish but lived in Stockholm for ten or so years. He brought this irrational stupidity when he migrated to Australia despite the fact that he had Swedish friends here and married my mother in the 'Swedish Church' which is possibly the only Lutheran church in Victoria. This kid's Dad was the Pastor at the same church in a wild coincidence. My mate and I gave him a bit of a hard time when he first started school. He was pretty straight...my mate and I were cool enough (read 'stupid enough') to be smoking at lunchtime...we thought we ruled the world. Then it occurred to me that I was just parroting my Dad's stupidity. I actually had nothing concrete against this poor guy. I resolved that from that moment, I would only indulge in my own stupidity...it's working well so far

Peace.
