I generally do use the word bigot rather than racist. I know very few people who are only racist and not bigoted in other ways, so it tends to be more accurate.

I generally do use the word bigot rather than racist. I know very few people who are only racist and not bigoted in other ways, so it tends to be more accurate. It also gives much less wiggle room and appears to cut into people's ego far more.
As another observation, I have yet to meet anyone who uses the phrase 'playing the race card', that has a considered opinion on that subject, or indeed many others. It is indicative of a thought process constructed almost entirely from clichés.
- jjuhl 7y agoWell, thank you for putting people in boxes. One can have a considered opinion and still think that playing the "race card" is despicable. Try not to be so single-minded.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoI think you missed the nuance. I was saying that I find that people who use that term do not generally have considered opinions. As for putting people in boxes, I thought you were the one advocating that. Wooden ones, specifically.
