In reply to the discussion: I agree completely with George Clooney [View all]kenfrequed
(7,865 posts)That George Clooney has good intentions, and I like his active role in the film "Good night and good luck," and I agree with much of what he says, but I think he comes from a position of some privilege, and that I think is what the poster that you responded to was attempting to get across, however inarticulately.
And calling the person a bigot or prejudiced waters down the meaning of those words considerably. Yes, the poster is guilty of massive hyperbole and wild exaggeration but is it really a strech to say that his life experiences may actually be relevent and that possibly coming from a background that is not as priveleged. I think there are better and more accurate ways to indicate how the poster is wrong.
Certainly, while it might be technically correct to possibly use the words you chose it really doesn't capture the spirit of the way that those words are commonly used in the English language.
