    The thing about being bigoted, is that it’s literally impossible to avoid. You don’t get to not be bigoted. You just get to pick which form of bigotry you prefer.

      I understand your point, but I believe that it’s human nature to have biases. Labeling it as unavoidable bigotry seems a bit pessimistic. We can strive to recognize and challenge our biases, encouraging empathy and understanding instead. It’s a continuous process, not a fixed state of being.

        It’s not pessimistic at all because it’s not bad to be bigoted. I didn’t say it was humanly impossible to not be a bigot. I said it was literally impossible.

        The point I’m making is that there is no such thing as not being bigoted.
