Yes, bigotry pisses me off. I've seen enough of it in my life, and
don't need to see any more.

Yes, which is exactly what -you- claimed to be doing. So it's okay if
you do it, but not okay for others?
Or are you forgetting your post in <[🔎] E14JkeI-0006y5-00@cubeship.borgspace.alpha>?

"Look at all those lazy black people! Heck, just watch 'The Jeffersons'
and you'll know all black people are lazy! But watch them dance -- they
sho' got great natural rhythm."
How is your statement any different?
Hint: it's not.

"I was justifying in making bigoted commments because he is English!
I'd only be wrong if I'd guessed the wrong nationality."

"I've met many lazy black people, so therefore, I have a right to call
any black man 'another lazy black'"
Again, how is your statement different?
You, sir, are a bigot. Like it or not, you're judging people by their
nationality. You even go so far as to claim some circular proof ("see,
I guessed he was English!") that your bigotry isn't bigotry at all, but
some sort of divine correctness that 'all brits are xenophobes'.
Again, how is that different from classifying all blacks as lazy, or all
jews as greedy, or any of thousands of other biased and wrong (both in
the sense of 'incorrect' and 'immoral') psuedo-classifications?
Oh, and learn what the 'Mail-Followup-To:' header is for. I really
don't need two copies of your crap.
