    IMMIGRANTS BAD

    “What have immigrants done wrong?”

    IMMIGRANTS BAD

    “But immigrants are propping up our society.”

    IMMIGRANTS BAD

    Bigotry is illogical, and there is no reasoning with it.

      Yet this isn’t even bigotry. It’s straight out xenophobia and hatred. The sanctimonious bullshit is just a fig leaf…

        Yet this isn’t even bigotry. It’s straight out xenophobia and hatred.

        Bigotry is the broader category containing racism, xenophobia, and hatred based on perception of belonging to a group.

        Definition of bigotry: “obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.”

        Bigotry isn’t ‘less bad than’ racism or xenophobia. Hating people for being from another country is one type of bigotry.
