re: #91 Obdicut

Well, it’s pretty undeniable that racism is often used as a populist tool, so I’m not sure what your problem is with that.

He’s not arguing that it’s a tool of populism. He notes that the racist character of the leadership and their message is part of their appeal.

And being uncomfortable around so many people of a different culture is, well, bigoted. They’re people. It may be challenging to learn the social cues and deal with them, but that’s what an open-minded person does, not run away because they’re too different.

I dunno. I imagine that there are many people who find themselves uncomfortable if they are in the cultural and ethnic minority.

If someone is not comfortable in a situation where they are not part of the cultural majority, I have no idea how to interpret that other than bigotry. Perhaps you could offer a theory?

Would you attribute bigotry to a Black man who finds himself uncomfortable living in, say, small-town Idaho after ahving lived in Detroit all his life?
