Poll question: What is you experience with bigotry?

It's seemed to me that since the Republicans took Congress, there has been a renaissance of bigotry of every kind: anti-semitism, racism, sexism, what have you. It seems to me, anyway, to have accelerated under the current regime.

I thought it might be useful for us to figure out where DUers are with this situation. What is your experience with it? Have you experienced bigotry aimed at a group that you belong to? Are you aware of bigotry directed at groups that you don't belong to?

This isn't a thread about immigration. This isn't a thread about Israel. It's about your experience. So, please do not post your beef about those situations here -- there are plenty of other threads for that. What we are talking about here is a Republican tool for manipulating us via hatred of an out group, beginning from our own experience with hatred.

My hope is, if it works, this poll will give us a sense of where DUers start from, when they think about this issue.

Edit: This is about our general experience in life. ef
