You tend to listen to me horribly, so that's not wholly unexpected.
I'm talking about things like getting away with being somewhere you're not supposed to by pretending to be a wholesome heterosexual couple making out with your partner-in-crime, or using the fact that macho guys will see you as physically harmless when you're wearing makeup and nailpolish to your advantage. Avoiding military 'duty' by being (or pretending to be) gay is a good example, too. I've heard stories about activists infiltrating nationalist meetings by virtue of being white and having the right local accent, coming out with useful info.
Prejudice at it's core is just a kind misjudgement. People suffer from it, yes, but the people doing it also suffer from their own poor decision making. This can be a good thing when they make themselves your enemy.
