      People can become bigots for a variety of reasons. Many are fully aware of their prejudices, and feel they have justification. Bigots are nearly as diverse as people as the those they dislike.

        A worldview that is incompatible with the cooperation of society. If you want to go play apologist for a bigot you might as well be one.

          Who’s worldview is incompatible? Mine or theirs? Or both?
          And who’s apologizing? I’m simply point out that they’re a diverse group, with diverse motivations.
