That bigoted people outnumber the not-bigoted. I agree that of you go looking for it, you'll find it, and I agree that in certain places, there's a whole lot of them around, but I don't agree that there's more of them.
Because if there were? we'd be in a lot worse shape in the tolerance thing. We not good, but most folks at least aren't out looking for 'different' people to go after. Just a few very vocal folks.
But by the same token, the few bigots I have had the misfortune of meeting, were REALLY bad.
....Like my mom.
I'll have to tell you THAT story off camera as it were.
