Re: Questions about "Race"
Bigot, defined by Merriam-Webster, is "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"
Racist is a person who believes that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Can we say this:
When it comes to race, bigot is really racist?

To quote the noted anthropologist Chris Rock, "Black people dominate sports in the United States. 20% of the population and 90% of the final four. We own this [poo-poo]. Basketball, baseball, football, golf, tennis, and as soon as they make a heated hockey rink we'll take that [poo-poo] too."
Count me in. I firmly believe that race makes people of African descent superior athletes, on average, when compared to people of European descent.

Whereas a Bigot is someone who believes that other races, genders, etc. are inferior to their own. Again, technically one sees a differences in race...the other sees folks from other groups as inferior.

Do you size up the person before get up and move? What if he's your friend?

But if you don't look, how do you know he's a friend?
That's why I asked him - "do you size him/her up before you get up?"
