Please forgive me insisting on us all using the same definitions of the same words.
bigot - One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ. racist - 1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. 2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race. These words mean specific things. They also have high emotional content. Let's not use them for mere emotional reasons. |
