Are anthropologists among the most tolerant people ever?

<p>After all - they’ve investigated many different cultures - many who do things that are considered widely taboo by the West. So maybe they’re also more tolerant of people in general - people who do things that might also be considered taboo.</p>

<p>what are you getting on about? <.< don’t diss 'em</p>

<p>Um I’m not dissing them. IMO tolerance is the most important virtue</p>

<p>InquisitiveOne, you sure live up to your name ;)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I haven’t met many anthropology majors to answer that. I’ve met one, but I think she’s just doing it because she doesn’t know what else to major in.</p>

<p>Interesting question though :)</p>

<p>They could just be condescending.</p>

<p>The anthropology professor at the local state college I am dual enrolled at is apparently EXTREMELY intolerant of religious people. His RMP page is filled with comments of people who say things like “Do NOT take this class if you are religious”, even those that liked him. I have a very atheist friend who is not particularly fond of religion. He took this professor and was shocked at how anti-religious he was. He printed out little booklets, and these and his lectures would often be filled with the phrase “…and that’s why all religion is wrong.”</p>

<p>Gladly, however, he is far from the usual.</p>

<p>I think I’d love your anthro professor.</p>
