  • There is no such thing as polite bigotry and it isn’t as agnostic as you make it out to be. Bigotry at its core is the belief that certain groups of people don’t deserve their human rights because of traits that can’t be changed. I also never said I advocated for banning all or even most value systems that don’t align with mine. I don’t care what others do as long as they aren’t forcing their beliefs upon others, advocating for the oppression of others, or otherwise cause harm. If you treat bigotry as a valid belief, you let it get a foothold. Once a significant number of bigots get into positions of power, they start to oppress people. Now lets say just for the sake of argument that it can be tolerated to an extent, I still shouldn’t have to be exposed to it on a daily basis. I try to understand things from other peoples perspective, but I will not emphasize with those who consider me inferior and undeserving of my human rights.
