Okay, so your comment is so vague idk what you're even saying. But:

1) Admittedly, I rushed through reading the secret. I got the "I'm now prejudiced" part but missed the "judging whole cultures" part, so I was kind of off-point. Le whoops. My bad.

But 2) I still think that one of the best ways to work through a prejudice is to talk to people. Not because it makes you magically approve of something creepy (like, say, FGM -- which I wonder too if this is about, actually), but because it humanizes the people who believe the creepy shit. It's much better, for your own health and the others you interact with, to be able to go "Gaaah, I hate that opinion of yours, but you're not so bad" than to be like "I can't deal with you because you hold that opinion."

But it takes a LOT of work to get to that point.

This. I have friends with different opinions on politics and life, but that doesn't automatically mean that they're bad people. Living in a multicultural country and growing up with them since childhood does help. It's not easy, it's not pretty, but it does open your mind.
