I'll certainly agree on the bigotry; i've always considered the two interchangeable. I have little use for "academics" who take it upon themselves to change the meaning of a word. Academics take themselves too seriously. Thats how we end up with Hillary's list of words that shouldnt be used because NOW they will be considered sexist. (Yes, they do have a list!) But using that "new" definition, the only way a black person could be a racist would be for them to actually live in Africa, which is ridiculous. Racists of all colors are everywhere. Will you at least agree with that?
