    And more lies.

    If that’s not what you were saying, then what were you saying?

    Also, I like how you say both “I am not saying you are a racist” and “your (subconscious) bigotry” as if those aren’t total contradictions.

    They are not. Subconscious bigotry or bias doesn’t necessarily make one a bigot, as contradictory as that may sound. Whether they like to admit or not, everyone reacts differently to people who are noticeably different from them. There is no way to entirely avoid this, only to realize when it happens and not act according to it. Or in other words: “I don’t care if you’re racist! EVERYONE’S racist!”

      I was saying that it is not relevant outside of a philosophical discussion. I’m not sure why this is so hard to understand. I never said philosophical discussions had no relevance.

      Also, while you’re asking questions, maybe you should ask the person I’m talking to who I am supposedly bigoted against.
