What made you have the political views that you do?

In my late teens early 20's I woud've considered myself a liberal. I thought republicans were a bunch of old racist white men. Without conceding to that claim I've found there's another form of racism on the left that's more insidious - that patrician attitude that "you're incapable of making it on your own. You need our help and we know what's best for you."

The change in ideology started for me when I was applying for a position one time and was encouraged to take advantage of my ethnicity (white/pacific islander) nevermind my qualifications.
