Hmmm...

I think I need to get to know a politician.

People become discriminatory, bigoted even, because they form ideas of what they don't know -- whether it's a different race, skin colour, religion, sexual preference. And education, exposure even, is the first step to curb discrimination because the more you get to know a person whom you at first think is different from you, the more you realise how similar you both are.

So maybe I'm distrustful of politicians because I don't know any.
