I would not only be okay with it, I would applaud him for his honesty and courage. Most people are a bit prejudiced against one or another group. In and of itself this is not shameful, merely a common human failing, but to ignore it... to do nothing about it? That is shameful.
That's the thing.
We all have prejudices. I have prejudices, you have prejudices. We all do. I acknowledge them, question them, and try to act on doing something about them.
Acknowledging prejudices and refusing to do anything about them is bad. Refusing to even acknowledge them despite clear evidence of their existence is just fucked up.
