I think i might be a bigot?

Question

my very best and dearest friends are from colombia but as a whole i dont like hispanics but i love them,,, also puerto ricans as a whole really bother me but there has been 1 or 2 that i liked and befriended,,, this goes for all oncluding whites

Answer 1

Bigotry is the dislike of someone based on something about them over which they have no control. If you dislike someone because they're black, you're a bigot; if you dislike a black person because you know he's a thief or because you just don't like the way he acts, you're not.

And most people hang out with people they share an interest of some sort with. Right now I have no Hispanic friends, although my godson is half- Hispanic. It's not through choice; I just don't know any Hispanics around here who share an interest with me at the moment. I also don't have any close friends who are black at the moment-- which is actually a pretty strange thing for me-- for the same reason, although there are black folks I know through work that I really like but they just don't live anywhere near me.

If Puerto Ricans bother you because they're PRs then you're a bigot, and should do something to expand your horizons on that issue.

Answer 2

not at all.

i think this whole political correctness thing is stupid and i refuse to conform to it.

i grew up in an all white neighborhood and all my friends were white. why would that make me a bigot?

am i supposed to run out and find a non white to befriend just to prove i'm not?
