Well, I don't mean it in a universal way, I just set that out as one possible example - kind of like how some assumptions that were "normal" and which even perfectly nice kind well-intentioned people never questioned because it didn't occur to them to do decades ago are pretty unacceptable now. (And usually the good people are the ones who go "oh, huh" and change their opinion once they started thinking about it.) But yeah of course it's not universal.

And as for being accepting, IA with you about your example, but it's still really a matter of having the right attitude (like, as you said, being open to the possibility that you assumed wrong or that you don't know everything) rather than a matter of forming specific opinions that turn out to be the correct ones. Forming opinions and assumptions that turn out to be prejudiced and wrong isn't assholish in and of itself IMO. Hell, there's probably prejudices or opinions we have that we don't even notice as a thing that could possibly be considered terrible. And it's nigh impossible to function in the world without making some assumptions and forming some opinions about humanity, and some of those assumptions are going to be wrong even when made with good intentions and attitudes, it's only human I guess.
