I probably make the same value judgement that you have made.
Yes of course I do.......I have no nail holes in my hands........the foul mouthed bit does it for me........in a public place, drinking from cans, with two elderly ladies passing by. They are uncouth and rude, and probably realise full well that their presence intimidates people like me.
What you are trying to get at, is that we make value judgements on people because of their clothes....or appearance.
Same group as above but without the bad language, and the stella equates to a different situation altogether.......young men such as these(without the nasty language and alcohol) have helped me with Ma's chair on more than one occasion.
But there is a huge difference between looking at someone and making a value judgement in a situation like that, and the one where they give another Older lady a demeaning and derogatory nickname. It is very shallow.
