First of all, grammar went boom.

Second of all, people don't need a reason to hate something. If someone dislikes eggs, that's fine. If he dislikes eggs and has never eaten them, that's fine, too. If he dislikes eggs and has never eaten them and knows that there are many ways of eating or preparing eggs, that's fine, too. Maybe it's not the taste he dislikes. Maybe it's a principle. Maybe he's had a painful emotional imprint left upon him by eggs. I dunno, maybe they gave him intense gas in public or something. The point is that people don't need a reason to hate things. We have a right to hate whatever we want. I think what you're observing that makes people look ignorant is the attempt to justify hatred. Ultimately, you can't justify hatred. Hatred is never justified, and it's never wrong, either; it's simply there. So I guess I agree with you, actually; my point of divergence is really just more of an issue of semantics.

Third, ignorance is not equivalent to stupidity.
