I do not feel persecuted. I don’t like seeing “others” get ragged on, regardless. I should clarify: individuals who deserve it absolutely should get railed on; the distinction is when the ragging moves above the stage of the individual and to an entire class of individuals. The literal definition of a bigot is “One who is narrow-mindedly devoted to their own ideas and groups, and intolerant of (people of) differing ideas, races, genders, religions, politics, etc.” I did not make this definition up, nor it seems can I explain it to someone who does not want to know (as your hand-picking of some of my answers to directed questions, ignoring the larger context, would seem to to indicate: I know, reading is hard sometimes), so I will stop here. You may chalk it up to simply a misunderstanding or… whatever you like, I suppose.
