This troper has oft-times fallen into this category - being a white Australian male and hating other white Australians (usually women) based on their being Australian (admittedly there is a bit of a nationality-based version of MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch in action here). This troper also knows he fails logic forever because of it.

Liking and disliking has nothing to do with logic, though. Still, you might want to work at this attitude...

Come on, this is something we have SeenAMillionTimes on the Internet, heck, a ''billion'' times: those guys that call other "geeks/losers/with no life/who don't have sex" are usually not the kind of persons that are the opposite of their insults.

This troper doesn't hate Black people, as he is one himself and that would just be ludicrous self hatred, but he often finds himself internally fearing groups of young Black men as any typical suburban white person would, as portrayed by the media.

Sadly, I really think that most of real life examples are aversions: I used to believe in the psychology subtext of this trope as well as others, but then I found out that most people hate things because they truly mean it. Hate is such a powerful human emotion, and doesn't take any freudian excuse to appear.

This troper will usually hate people for various character faults which he fully well knows that he has himself. This could be a slight aversion though as he doesn't exactly like himself much either for exactly the same reasons...

This troper falls into this category when it comes to internet trolling. Admitadly, her form of trolling is more like arguing with trolls so that they death threat at her and not at nice little kids posting happy comments about how much they love xyz, but the trollish component of my internet behavior remains.

According to my dad (we're Canadian) my great-grandfather was a Norwegian-turned-Canadian nationalist who considered everyone who got off the boat after ''him'' to be an immigrant. Was apparently quite offensive about it too. Charming fellow.

I'm not "You Are What You Hate" as much as I am "You Hate What You Are".

Tropers/DesertDragon: I was intensely homophobic for most of my childhood and adolescence (being raised Baptist didn't help). For the next six years I struggled with my feelings, slowly accepting gays before finally coming out at 19. Now in my mid-20's, I'm as secure and comfortable with myself as can be, openly gay with family and friends and having a healthy dating life. Many people struggle with these feelings their entire lives, which is why I strongly believe in this trope. The bigger the homophobe, the more likely he has something to hide.

I used to really hate people that are envious, arrogant or insensitive. Then I realized that was exactly what I was myself... Cue HeroicBSOD followed by a slow process of getting better.

I was sexually assaulted when I was younger. Guess who pressured the girl she has stupid confusing romantic feelings for into having sex when we were both drunk, she much more so than I? Yeah, I've become what I hate most in the world. I don't know what to do... we haven't spoken since then....

As a misanthrope I hate almost everyone. I hate people I've never even spoken to before, for no apparent reason. I have an especially strong hatred of youths and being a teenager myself it is quite odd.

It'll pass, trust me. In a few years it will have sucked you dry and the most intense thing you'll be able to feel will be mild disappointment, occasionally rising from the calm ocean of apathy that you've become. Then you'll slowly start trying to pick up the pieces of your emotionality, never really trusting anyone or anything, sometimes hopeful but ultimately expecting the world to prove your hating it was justified. And it will, every time. Hatred rises when the world around you doesn't conform to your expectations, my guess is you're quite idealistic. And the world is far from perfect, so you can either suppress your idealism and try to adapt, or try to figure out your own way to deal with it. Needless to say i'm projecting, correct me if i'm wrong with my assumptions and i guess this can also be considered my own entry to the page.

As the previous post says, you will likely become quite apathetic regarding people and their intentions, I did and still have that problem, my solution is to find people that are able to match you in intelligence/viewpoint or are able to amuse you or otherwise make you interested in them. Otherwise you will become numb and prone to occasional feelings of rage because things spiral way out of your control.

This troper got angry at people for forgetting answers to questions he had already answered. Just a few weeks ago, he realized that the fact that he can't remember peoples' faces or names very well (almost certainly due to AspergerSyndrome) is very much the same concept and no one's gotten pissed at him over it. Now he feels like a {{Jerkass}}.*cries*

This troper will consistently call someone an idiot and then proceed to mock her stupidity and ignorance the DAY after wards.

This Troper ''hates'' actors. He's worked with enough of them over the years. About six or seven weeks ago (January, 2011), he was laying down background voices for a cartoon he was VOR-Directing, and suddenly it hit him. Cue VillainousBSOD.

"Hate" is pretty strong... but this tropette dislikes all but a small handful of teenage girls, finding them to be ditzy, trendy, and oftentimes sleazy but overall devoid of personality. She also doesn't like female vocals much, for some reason. ...I am 17 years old and I like to sing at local events.

A few weeks ago, I met a guy that was pretty much the real life, skinny version of Ruckus from TheBoondocks. He pointed to a torn-down gas station across the street and informed us that it was in tact earlier that morning. Then he stated one of the biggest Crowning Moments of Funny I've ever witnessed. #QUOTE#''Random Guy:'' "I blame all of this here on Obama. A black man should never be allowed in office. We're all a bunch of niggers." *I begin to crack up* "You can say the nigger-word if you want. I was around in '56 and heard it all the damn time."

This black troper has met a lot of black people who acted with contempt toward other black people, but praised other ethnic groups and even tried to imitate them. A particularly nasty Driver's Ed teacher comes to mind.

This Sicilian-American troper can't stand western guys who have a very strong preference for east Asian women. Guess which race two-thirds of the women he's attracted to belong to?
