Here's a refresher of the definition: "intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself" None of the scenarios described in your tirade fits the definition. And back to the original article, it's highly likely that the audience understood "Arabic" numerals to mean actual numerals in Arabic script. The only definitive way to deduce bigotry is from a follow up question that has amongst other choices, one for "because I dislike XYZ people". Everything else is speculation - if you don't believe me, submit this for publication in any peer reviewed academic journal. "Never Attribute To Malice What You Can Attribute To Stupidity" - the respondants (likely) didn't know Arabic Numerals referred to what they already use, and the question is setup to exploit the general lack of knowledge on the matter, and spin a native on bigotry. Because, a story on bigotry is a LOT more click baitey than simple ignorance. BTW - you seem intent on pushing a "bigotry" narrative, and FUD-ing in general. Are you the author? Or the person cited in the article tweeting an obvious non sequitur, claiming this unscientific, non-conclusive data to be evidence of bigotry?
