Or am I just answering questions in a different category than usual?

Racial prejudice is incredibly annoying right (whatever the venue)? Unfortunately, they have as much right as anyone to freedom of opinion. The sad part to that is that it implies a really limited frame of reference borne out of the lack of education and is, thus, really more of a cultural disease than a simple case of preference. I just wish they found more productive ways of getting all of that angst out.... helping to house the homeless for instance or taking care of parentless children... maybe then they'd learn something.

Well, there always seems to be a lot of BIGOTS. There is a difference between the two, you know. Bigotry if a belief that an individual has that one race is better than the other or something like that. Racism is government sanctioned....such as when the USA said that African-Americans and other minorities only counted as 3/4Th's of a white person. Or how the how we aren't putting a fence between the USA and Canada, just us and Mexico. Says a lot about how our leaders like to misdirect us from what is REALLY important in the world....such as the corporate takeover of our democracy.....sigh.
Bigotry is so WEIRD to me. If people MUST be misinformed about another race, why can't it be a "nice" assumption? I think Louis CK said something like that. Instead of saying Japanese can't be trusted....why not say something like..."Oh, those Japanese are so lucky, I hear they can fly!" or instead of saying something like "Mexicans are lazy" why not something like "I heard Mexicans were made of candy!" They sound equally ridiculous, but not nearly as mean spirited.
Frankly, my father told me that you should consider bigots to be sadly ignorant. "Some people's kids."

Even if there is a lot of racism on here tonight why do you care? Leave the small minded bigots to themselves hopefully they get bored and go play with traffic.

Yes, they seem to come out in the early evenings and maintain a constant flow of ignorance, I suppose it is because this is the only forum in which they are able to spew their hatred and venom, it is sad, they are obviously very miserable, and have no life.

Seems like it to me. Maybe it's because it's a Saturday night and the racists don't have enough money to go and get drunk.
