Ein wenig gebildeter Weißer, mit vielen Vorurteilen.


A prejudging White with a lack of education.

"wenig gebildeter"? sarcastically, or am I misunderstanding it?

Ah, thank you - I misunderstood. I suppose "prejudging" is a polite
way of saying it. :)

Dunno whether you got the right reference of words. - Not, that it
really would matter, unless you plan to spend your next holiday in
a German speaking country... ;-)

Daniel did an enhanced translation (by meaning rather than word by
word). So "prejudging" is "mit vielen Vorurteilen" while "wenig
gebildeter" relates to "with a lack of education".

Hope, I don't bump into someone being proud to be called Redneck
within the next couple of days. ;-)

Hi Al!


I thought about that a while. But if you have one prejudication or many
makes no difference. Much education or less makes a difference :-)

So, I would say my English sentence is more correct as the german one.

A less educated White with many prejudices (direct translation)



Klein, Schmidt hmmm.. :-) (german surnames....)

Spent a while in Schwaben many years ago, doing some software work. :)
Under the Kocher, if you're familiar with the area.

If "total" and "lack" mean the same thing, then "lack" is a bit short
of the truth. :)

Oh, they're not so bad. Spme of them are actually well-educated,
non-prejudiced people - the perjorative use of the term is something
others do to them. Some of us smile when we say it.

Hey, don't drag me into this one!

Dad _was_ German, but came to Oz in the 50s.

My German was of the 4 year-old level, and that was many decades ago,
all long since forgotten post divorce.

Cheers,
