Must not....must not...
No, you are not accusing in reason.
"Screams Bigotry" (those italics) that's a bit much, perhaps you heard of the Armenian Genocide? Ethnic tensions can run as high in the Dagestan/Sarkartvelo/Chechnya region than anywhere in the world, I have met real bigtos as you call them.
Reason (taken from Merriam-Webster)= c : a sufficient ground of explanation or of logical defense; especially :
something (as a principle or law) that supports a conclusion or explains a fact <the reasons behind her client's action>
Looking back on my post (and Bair's), I have everything I need to support the reason.
You don't deny that you like to make sweeping, over-generalizing statements
and undermine/denigrate different cultures and religions.
In fact, your quotes are on record proving such.
Let's see what the definition of bigot is:
bigot (also taken from Merriam-Webster): a person who is obstinately or
intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially :
one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance
A small, politically impotent, technologically backward, perpetually impoverished, numerically small people with no contributions to world if you don't count Westerners adopting their idiosyncatic reading of Buddhism as the dominant fashionable coffee-house 'exotic' religion?
If they weren't brutally annexed by one of world's nastiest and biggest governments, what average Joe would have even heard of them?
Though I think Islam has always been far more of a political-ideology/regressive legal-code than a genuine religion, so I'm really not the person to ask.
Pavel, I have no doubt that there are others more bigoted than you.
However, that is very fallacious logic considering your situation here.
It's "the pot calling the kettle black" if you've ever heard that expression before.
These posts, among others show though, that the very definition of a bigot applies to you.
Of course not all cultures are equal, anybody who convinces himself otherwise would be self-deluding, things like polygamy and blood feuds are objectively stupid.
Please clarify and elaborate.
I'm not "accusing", of course I'm not tarring a whole people with one brush, but if you look at the writings a broad range of figures from this area of Dostoevski, Gogol', Pushkin, Lermontov, Frit, Tovmas Terzian, Gorki, Chekhov ect. ect. ect. there is a general trend.
You're still generalizing. Doesn't help your argument or your defense (of which this was originally).
And I am Caucasian, can you be racist against yourself? Wait... don't answer that.
As for your last query, why yes, a person can be racist against their own ethnic group.
Take James David Manning for example or Michelle Malkin.
Two very-well known self-hating individuals, or at least,
known for making unfounded and self-hating comments towards their own ethnic groups.
Anyways, it does not appear that I'd be able to convince you otherwise.
Again, you're on record with bigoted and denigrating statements against many different cultures, people and an entire religion.
If you're okay with that hurting your credibility, then by all means, please continue.
Keep that in mind whenever you're making a post.
