\t\t\t\t\"most-hated\"<\/a>Poll results confirmed what a recent Front Porch article<\/a> already alluded to: Stapletonians hate divorced people. In fact, in that poll, divorcees were second (64%) only to Aurorans (88%) on the \u201cmost hated by Stapletonians\u201d list. The poll listed several different potential groups who Stapletonians may hate. Multiple responses were allowed, and over 3,000 Stapleton residents completed the poll, which was conducted by Denver University in partnership with the Stapleton MCA.\n\n\u201cNeighborhoods like Stapleton are not completely unique,\u201d says lead researcher Eric Miller. \u201cHowever, they are very interesting case studies in that they are almost quarantined off from the rest of civilization, causing unreal expectations as well as often judgmental attitudes towards those different from them.\u201d Miller said this small study is just the beginning of a larger nationwide study aimed to look at how people develop bias or stereotypes. \u201cBy understanding where these attitudes begin, we can look to find ways to curb them.\u201d\nThe hate of divorcees is in large part due to the Stapleton residents\u2019 backgrounds themselves. \u201cAlmost 97% of Stapleton residents came from families whose parents were not divorced,\u201d says Miller. \u201cAnd, 87% never had a friend growing up who had parents who were divorced. Lack of exposure leads to misunderstanding, and misunderstanding leads to judgment, and judgment leads to hate.\u201d Miller says that the lack of exposure isn\u2019t all residents\u2019 faults.\n\u201cYou have to understand that divorces really haven\u2019t been around that long,\u201d says Miller. \u201cAccording to Dr. Leaky, man has been around about one million years. Maryland was the first state to allow divorce, and that wasn\u2019t until 1701, so in the span of time, it\u2019s like yesterday. I am sure a lot of people share a bias against divorced people, just maybe not to the level that Stapletonians have.\u201d Miller says that even in perfect Stapleton with perfect people, there are still bound to be divorces. \u201cThe median length for a marriage is 11 years. Stapleton is now over 11 years old, so they are bound to see some divorces, even if it not at the national clip of 50%.\u201d\nAurorans were the clear number one hated people by Stapletonians, and number two Divorcees were followed by Single People (51%). Also included in the poll were Married People Without Kids (39%) and Seattle Seahawks (22%).\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
