    Bigotry is bigotry regardless of whether you have any power or not.

    Where in the world did you ever get the idea that any type of bigotry is acceptable?

    This is a huge problem with your thought process; I suggest you take whatever steps necessary to fix it.

      Do you also complain about people saying ‘eat the rich’? What is considered bigotry and what not? I didn’t say that bigotry is fine per se, just that some comic relief is. And I’m firmly convinced that discrimination is based on a structural oppression. That’s what I meant with the phrase about bigotry. But sure, even someone without much power can be an asshole and this wouldn’t be fine for me either. Although it is more complicated than to say this person is just a bigot, because you would need to include a structural level in this. Calling other people bigot for not confirming to your standards is a common way of discrimination as well. So talking about bigotry like a universal thing that is always this one way and that is bad is really overly simplistic and just playing into structural oppression. So maybe go fix this yourself?

        Bigotry is not acceptable. Period. End of story.

        You of all people should be capable of understanding this very simple principle.

        And since I am absolutely out of patience with bad faith actors today, I’m blocking you as well. Now, piss off.

          You’ve told two people in here to “piss off”. I don’t care how irritated you are with them, that is not even close to be(e)ing nice. You can, in fact, block people without being a jackass about it.
