Search Results: ethnic groups

I listen to this radio show called RAD RADIO. Rob, the owner of the show, said everyone is a bigot. My first reaction was, "I'm not a bigot." I've always thought of bigots as being bad people. But then I started thinking about the definition.

BIGOT:
"A person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance."

And I thought maybe Rob is right. Maybe everyone including myself is a bigot. I'm intolerant of political extremist on the left and right. I'm intolerant against ANTIFA, BLM, KKK, NEO-NAZIS, WHITE SUPREMACISTS, and against any extreme leftist groups and extreme right wing groups. I really believe extremism is destroying our country.

Now some people are bigots because they don't tolerate other races, other countries, other states, or other cities. Some are bigots because they don't like fat people, skinny people, disabled people, police, people on welfare, people who are promiscuous, people who are prudes, LGBTQ, certain types of men or women, the homeless, rich people, poor people, gun owners, a political party, other religions, drug addicts, etc...

So maybe he is right. What do you think? Are you a bigot? If so or if not, explain what make you a bigot or not one. That is if you can be honest.
