Why do humans keep bigotry alive?

He’s Alive

Bigotry is very much alive Where will he go next, this phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare — Chicago? Los Angeles? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there’s hate, where there’s prejudice, where there’s bigotry. He’s alive. He’s alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He’s alive because through these things we keep him alive.

What SERLING failed to understand is that the story of a friendship between a Holocaust survivor and a neo-Nazi is going to be a pretty damn interesting story on its own.

question is... why do we keep pretending bigotry is else...

WE ARE bigotry

Humans are a tribal species. It can be race, national origin, or many other factors. It is baked into our DNA to find a reason to hate spomebody.

Stereotypes exist for a reason, but some people take it too far and forget to treat others as individual human beings worthy of compassion.

In the animal kingdom they kill anything not of their species. Are they bigots?

Because those who do need jobs.
