Reply #260: Like hell. If that were true, we'd ALL be bigots. [View All]

We generalize Republicans and right-wingers every single day. Do you oppose that, too?

The common understanding of "bigot" involves being biased against someone for reasons that have to do with an inherent characteristic of who they are. Being black, gay, and/or female--those are all inherent characteristics. Being a cop, a Republican, or a mercenary--those are choices that are NOT inherently part of someone's overall existence.

Do NOT compare the plight of minorities to the poor, poor cops. You accomplish nothing save to diminish the horrific effects of the bigotry that TRULY oppressed people suffer on a regular basis.
