“A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs.”

What a ridiculous definition.

Let's lay that statement over some groups it might be applied to.

Here are a few:
Nazis?
Child molesters?
Al Qaeda?

This “definition” allows no room for experience and knowledge of groups one might be addressing.

So, the statement concludes that we would somehow be “bigoted” for making conclusions about Nazis without taking time to get to know the individual Nazi(s) of interest?

Please... Apply mature logic to this and throw out the ridiculous and illogical PC and dogma.

What a ridiculous definition.

I agree for the most part

So, the statement concludes that we would somehow be “bigoted” for making conclusions about Nazis without taking time to get to know the individual Nazi(s) of interest?

Hammer meet nail - yes, by loosely applying the definition - EVERYTHING could be considered bigotry. Those who run around crying 'bigot, bigot' are living the life of political correctness and only seek to stifle discussion and the associated free speech. Time for some to grow up and mature and leave the name calling on the playground.
