It's easier to accuse someone of being racist than to sometimes admit your own honest - if not acceptable - thoughts on the matter.
I have a lot of Hispanic/Latino/Mexican co-workers, friends, etc. and whenever they talk about immigration I always ask, "Do you mean immigration for everyone or just Hispanics?" and when they say "everyone", I ask, well what are you views on Asian immigration? and I get called a racist because of that. I'm part Asian and my mom did all the stuff she was supposed to, the paperwork, the test, the green card, all of it. She didn't complain, she didn't lie, she didn't cheat. But it pisses me off when people say immigration policies are unfair and it is only one group that is complaining. My asking them about other immigrant groups must make them uncomfortable, because in their hearts they must know they are only looking at Hispanic issue, so they call me racist.
I know I'm not, and they know it, I'm such a mix of ethnicity's that if I was a racist I'd have to kill myself, but people don't like to honestly admit what they care about even to themselves sometimes. If they did, there'd be a lot more communication and problem solving rather than name calling.

It's very possible that your question or answer does make people believe you are somewhat a racist or a bigot. These are very tough times we live in and could even be the beginning of the end times predicted in the Bible. I do hope and pray you believe in the Bible because it's your only way to salvation. God knows what's in your heart and knows if you are truly a bigot or not. If you think you might be, you need to get down and pray for forgiveness and mean it. Remember, you don't fool God. If your really not a bigot, maybe you need to pray for those who think you are. There having a problem. Either way, God Bless you and I will pray for you also.

The answer is simple, because we are too politically correct for our own good and people are afraid to voice an opinion for fear of being labeled. Just like your question asks. Also people often will use this tactic to stop a line of questioning before it can come to a point where their own views could be challenged, a fear thing.

They already have it. ruled with information from the document monkeys. they don't enable everybody with a distinct view to really exhibit their honest perspectives. shame on them for not following their own Christ who set a a concepts better get mutually than they do.

It's the internet, friend. People who enjoy doing so can be a lot more rude and nasty online than they are in the real word. Don't take it personally.

Make sure that your question is natural and not replete with subtle or not-so-subtle religious bigotry, then you'll be fine.
God knows best

well if you segregate a race or religion it means its because you dont like or trust them and that is because they are not of your race or religion and that is bigotry. we are all bigots in our own ways. most wont admit it though.
